Yes, you can do this action in vim, and pressing 'N' to search backwards.
You can also prepend n / N with a count to search that many forwards /
backwards. However, I do not think vi suppo
When I want to repeat a search, I just hit the n key.

I tried the DISPLAY variable since it seemed the simplest solution, and it
worked. :) I had logged out of X before I left the machine, but echo
$DISPLAY still existed. When I cleared that, I could use vim
remotely while su to other users.
Thanks!

Thank you, I am looking into that. :) I was in the middle of replying to
the first message when yours came in. I didn't mean to seem as if I was
ignoring you.

You are having a problem most likely with an .Xauthority file under the home

Thanks, I'll look into that, but I should have mentioned earlier that I am
trying to use the text mode of vim. :/ I have vi linked to vim, and I
thought to use it as X, I needed to issue xvim instead.
I will look into the xhost mans anyway, as at least that might get rid of
the error message :) T
It sounds like you are having a problem with .Xauthority file under X11.
Do man xauth and you will see what you can do about it. Or more simply,
use su - instead of just su when you switch users remotely.
