| nope but it would be a nice feature to add. Haha nice, I just installed gphpedit and Ill answer my own question, it is possible. You just need to record a macro, hehe nice little editor! |> If you have two windows open you do not need vi and works with |> any application. e.g grep. :r! grep something somefile(s) will grep and return the results as input to the file your editing.

The point it that gphpedit will parse the output in a much |> nicer fashion. However this has gotten waaay off topic, gphpedit is nice for php, but for me there is nothing it does that I need that vim doesnt do, and I really like php. vim can do code folding too you know. You can create named markers, named buffers, move named buffers to named markers, jump between named markers.... soo many things... And its fast, in a screen session, xterm, console, across a 14.4kbps satelite phone at $10 a minute(how much data would you want to move), vim rocks. |> No I did not know but I would rather thing UNIX programs and any |> program in general are a stand alone application that can be used |> from any other program.

In any editor you either save as another file to a location you do have write perm's or you chmod the file, in any event :w /path/to/a/newfile.txt saves to a new file where :w defaults to the current file's name. |> I am, 120-150 words per second but I would rather use that skill |> elsewhere. nowhere but the keyboard... | |> I appreciate your response because it expands my knowledge; | particularly |> that of why people do things differently. :-) I just hope this helped you think like someone who will "never think normally." | |> thank you very much for your response.
