Say, you want to map R1 to `:!date^M': :map ^V<R1> :!date^V^M ^^^^ hit R1 here The `^V's are needed to escape the following characters, which would normally end the map command. You can put such mappings into your EXINIT environment variable or your .exrc startup file. BTW, I've just posted a fairly extended vi reference to comp.misc and comp.editors. Email if you missed it.
