I can't duplicate the OP's environment, but I wonder why he can't just do the normal: <escape> followed by ":q!" to exit vi. Sorry for my ignorance of Linux on z under z/VM, but isn't there some way to use SMSG to send commands to z/Linux? I.e. to send the killall vi command from a CMS logon? -- While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must be eternally careful so that the calculated objective of communication does not become ensconced in obscurity. In other words, eschew obfuscation. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
