When I use vi, my arrow keys work just fine. I didn't know that h,j,k and l were for moving until today. I also only know about 8 vi commands and am able to do everything I need to do with it. It even does cut-n-paste in a terminal! -Mike "Just fueling the fire" Werneke -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
