No, its actually the job of your distributor to configure programs such that they work together nicely. On Debian, I've never had any backspace issues with Emacs. > I admit, I wasn't patient at all. ;) Maybe the next time I will hold > on. Yeah, that is obvious, since you rant the third time in some weeks about this issue :-). I've demonstrated how to run sc code from the command-line. If you prefer Vim and stuff, I really dont understand what is now preventing you from using SC without Emacs. Its going to be awkward, but hey, thats what you get for skipping Emacs! :-) Vi users have to feel the pain, self-inflicted and all... Simply edit your .sc file, and if you think it should work, do: # sclang scfile.sc - Now you can use stdin to test some additional commands (real-time programming). If an error occured, go back to your mighty vim and edit the .sc file. Since I dont use vi very much, I dont really know if it can run and communicate with external processes. For a more Vim friendly interface to SC you'll have to find a Vim expert (if they exist). -- CYa, Mario
