Yeah, just ignore the ":wq" you find in my mail. =:) Vi is very clean and fast. Still something makes me think I'm missing out.
St. Ignutious of the Church of Emacs says that using free implementations of vi is not a sin, it's a penance. One of these days I'm going to learn emacs, but it's just too easy to type vi and be done with the work. Woe is me, chained to vi. On 2004.02.06 11:11 Bryce T.
