Excellent! In my line of work everyone should know at least vi, as it is the only editor on Unix and z/OS you can expect to find. I've never had time to learn emacs...

I found vi wasn't challenging enough so started using emacs 15 years ago and have almost got started :) I did use old vi a lot, and do still have to use it sometimes if I can't install a proper editor tee hee -- best regards, 웃 Victor Churchill, Bournemouth -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Vi that uses a cursor addressable terminal doesn't it. If that's not available you'll have to use ed. How's your ed these days ? Mine's fair to middling, I had occasion to use it a few weeks back. nvi is basically the same program I've been using fpr 30+ years.
