Can 'vi' do it? Yes, since 'vi' can filter an arbitrary portion of its buffer through any filter you can use several methods to achieve a justified right-hand margin. E.g., for passing the text from the cursor to the end of the paragraph through the command 'cmd', type ESC!}cmd Useful commands are 'fmt', 'adjust' and 'nroff'; see your UNIX manual. I usually use 'adjust -jm60' to get justified margin at 60 coulmns. On some (non-HP-UX) systems 'adjust' is missing and you have to use the less powerful command 'fmt' instead. -Bo -- >>> Bo Thide', Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 90 Uppsala, Sweden <<< Phone (+46) 18-300020.
