The real problem is that I _Cannot_ remember the commands to type in as i do not use an editor enough to remember. I can read however and click the mouse button, also joe/jove have a commands reminder key sequence that I can callup to jog the memory. I had a problem a while ago where I did not have access to any other editor than vi, it took me hours of frustration to get a line altered. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
