I find that ex Version SVR3.1 (released with sunOS 4.1.1, I am guessing) and ex Version 3.7, 6/7/85. (released with previous sun systems) behave differently with the "-" option. The latter does what I would reasonably expect from the man pages explanation, but the first causes the terminal output to be somewhat non-sensical. This causes a bit of a problem with the redo script recently posted to edit the last command. It works beautifully with Version 3.7; not at all with Version SVR3.1 if the "-" option is included; and so-so with Version SVR3.1 if the "-" option is removed. Does some vi/ex guru know what I am talking about and why it is so and if there is a fix ? Buckets of thanks, Y. Fisher
