Package: nvi
Version: 1.79-21
Severity: normal
Hi,
I tried to invoke help for the vi | (pipe character) command like
this,
:viu |
the result is if I had typed instead just,
:viu
It appears that the pipe character is parsed here as an ex command
separator (which, by the way, is not documented as such in the ex
man page).
I tried escaping the pipe with a backslash, and again with ^Q,
neither was successful in my quest for help for the vi pipe
command.
Thanks,
