Wichert included a bunch of autocommands (that won't work in vim 6) in /etc/vimrc with the 5.x packages. | I'd say I'm pretty much joe average: emacs isn't even on my system, and | after two years of using linux I still don't know how to cut and paste | in vim :) Press 'v' to enter "VISUAL" mode. Then move the cursor to select the text area you want. 'y' will "yank" (copy) the text to the cut-buffer. 'p' will "paste" that text "after" the cursor location, 'P' will "paste" before the cursor location. Or just use the mouse :-). -D -- All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Proverbs 16:2 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
