Just what you are used too. I just tried vim to see what happened. Friendly help screen and amongst other things : Type :help Type :q Is that type: 'q' or type ':q' (for the novice) If I so much as touch a letter I can see text on the screen but then couldn't figure out how the hell to quit because the help screen disappears, :q doesn't quit, then the help which helpfully disappeared doesn't come to your rescue with :help and I am then locked in a padded cell :-) Only took me a few minutes before I vaguely remembered to try and use ESC :q Ah - get the cursor at the bottom. Wish they had mentioned that earlier...... Made me realise why I use mc/mcedit and gave up on vim - too cryptic for me. Admittedly mc could do with a 'Use F keys' on the front page but beyond that for most stuff..... Clearly YMMV :-) B. Rgds John
