Greetings;

I use ed in that case. It saves me the aggravation of having to
type the entire line completely correct! And in the cases where
I need to issue several commands I put them in a file and
source it. Much quicker in the long run since my error rate
on strange keyboards is about 1 in 10! Slightly better at my desk. ;-)

If you work on wintel systems you need to know edlin. If you work on
*nix systems you need to know ed. That knowledge has saved my bacon
more than once!

Good Luck!
Dennis

But if you don't have a network, then you have a 3215 or a 3270 or the
HMC.  In which case, vi won't help you.

In these cases, I use cat.  Others use echo.  I suppose I could learn
ed, since ed is the standard editor, but I prefer not to.
