Yes Tim, why are you wasting all this
bandwidth with vi questions?  Don't you know
that the "i" in vi stands for intuitive?

Everything is so damm obvious in vi it is
no fun to use at all.  In fact, most new
users on our UNIX box complain that vi
is too easy to use - so I give them PICO -
that PICO command menu at the bottom of the screen
just goes right against the concept of user
friendliness that vi pioneered..

Summary:-
As vi is the highpoint of our civilization,
its all down hill from here.
(too bad if you missed it)

End of story.

Sorry for the above, I have to wait 90 minutes
for Roger Ramjet and need something to do.
(Problem about Micks solution is that it actually
makes sense - bit of a worry)

Lachlan.
