I need to : make sure that one of two things happen: : 1) my alias for vi is used instead of an absolute path to : /usr/ucb/vi : OR : 2) I can supply my own startup string directly. I need : for the startup string to contain an environment variable, : as in: : vi -c "$VI_ARGS" In the present version neither of the above points are possible. I may add parsing of env. variables withiN the editor string in a future release so watch this space. Iain
