Here's a weird one:

I tried editing a file in the current directory with vi (SteVi,or
something like that)

Seems if I don't have a '.' in the filename, vi doesn't see it and
opens up a new file instead.
If I edit the new file and save it, vi puts a '.' at the end of the
filename.

I've gone to different directories and tried this, with the same
result.

If I exit mint and run gulam, then the vi editor works fine.

Is there some kind of variable I'm forgetting to set in Mint?

thanks for help,

PD
