Once you've gotten familiar with the way vi works, it's a pretty powerful utility. And you can't use much of anything else when your windows manager is broke and you have to edit your xorg.conf, or you have to fix your machine in single user mode. No windows manager, no gedit or geany. ;-) Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
