I gather that the justification for learning vi is that if your system is hosed, vi will work when other editors are unavailable. Hence you should use vi at all times, so that you can deal with problems. I don't see why you couldn't learn enough vi to deal with problems, and use another editor under ordinary circumstances. Sure, you'll be slower in vi, and perhaps curse a lot, but you can still use it. -- Karen Lofstrom _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
