The Debian package is "vim". Strange that it is not listed. The easiest is to call Vip directly in the REPL. The function name, though, is "vi" for ease of use ;) $ pil + : (vi 'day) # Edit function -> NIL : (vi "file.l") # Edit file -> NIL Hit "qq" or ":q<return>" to quit without changes. ☺/ A!ex -- Fridays for Functions: 9:00-17:00 UTC on Jitsi https://meeting.itship.ch/picolisp UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
