Carl!
Can't comment on Woody, but I have seen this in Hail, whichever version
you guys were handing out at the VLUG meetings. My default vi-type
editor was vile. I changed it to vim and the problem went away. I
suppose there is a config for vile lurking about somewhere, but I think
I like vim better anyway. I looked in /etc/alternatives and found the
following symlink:
vi --> /usr/bin/vile
which I changed to
vi --> /usr/bin/vim
and no more annoying characters, and I have now configured things
happily in /etc/vimrc.
Is that even remotely helpful to you in Woody?
Cheers,
Mike
