It seems that when I try to edit a file with vi with a filename longer than ~66 characters, it stops with a "[Hit return to continue]" message before proceeding. I've tried this with two different version of vi with the same results. If I change TERM to a terminal with >80 characters, I can type more characters without the message. Also, while view behaves similarly, ex doesn't seem to care how long the filename is. Any ideas? Frank Stuart | grep: dead.trees: Permission denied fstuart@eng.auburn.edu | MMMMmmmmm, Soylent Green
