This is what I was also wondering Chris. I always vi in single user mode. Or since I have an NFS mount on my network I mount it thro' NFS after assigning a static IP (DHCP does not work) and work. I have never had to use ed either in single user mode or for scripting. I use vim all the time. He he. -Girish
