Hi there guys! I just thought I'd drop you a line regarding the vi editor. I still haven't quite figured it out but I thought that you might want to know that if you are trying to delete a line, or X number of lines, the command which you have to enter is actually ":dX", as opposed to ":Xd", which appears be in the survival guide. In addition, I still haven't quite figured out printing... Has anyone figured out how to print from Uniw yet? If yes, please drop me a line! Thanks, R. ******************************************************************************* Rebecca Hill r_hill@alcor.concordia.ca I love to get e-mail, so please feel free to write me today! *******************************************************************************

Neither has a colon. To delete a single line, use dd. To delete 50 lines try 50dd. : : In addition, I still haven't quite figured out printing... : Has anyone figured out how to print from Uniw yet? : If yes, please drop me a line! : : lpr -P lp1 filename -- ================================================================= beckman@clone.concordia.ca Carolyn Beckman =================================================================
