No, that's reasonable. I hesitate to mention this, because I'm about to make an unfair comparison, but I have encountered versions of vi that wouldn't let you escape these magic characters -- no amount of escaping would do the trick (IIRC, the vi that comes with Solaris suffers from this). So, if vim acts more reasonably here, then I'd have to say that this is a good thing. Regards, --kevin -- Kevin D. Clark / Cetacean Networks / Portsmouth, N.H.
