Hmmmm, I don't have vim installed. It appears that it will pull in a good bit of dependancies too. Is there another way to do this? I'm on dial-up and it will take a good while just to download all it needs to install. What you are saying makes sense though. As soon as I try to scroll down, it locks right up. Thanks.
