Does this also happen when you use vim? I wonder if you are really using vi and not ee or some other editor. I had many problems with vi so I did 'touch .vimrc' in my home directory cd ~ touch .vimrc I use vim rather than vi and if I remember correctly, when I first installed FreeBSD, 'vi' was actually a symlink to 'ee'. I might be wrong about that. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
