I'd say its the route of all evil. <BG> You can do a lot of evil
things with vi. I know basic commands in it but not much more than
that. :)

hehe I have used a PII 333 with 64MB RAM, WinNT, etc, as a dumb
terminal, and used pico through telnet. But I did use CUTE (comes as
APM for arachne) on my 386SX/1MB RAM/no HDD as a terminal for my
linux box [mostly for Micq], until the owner of the card wanted it
back. [I have 4 computers - 3 able to use a card but only 2 cards now
both 3C509: for the linux box ("holly") and Mum's 386 ("toaster")].
Too bad this CUTE can't do the colours properly; try using BitchX or
even "ls -l --color" using it!

BTW, what exactly does the -m switch do? The mousing around with this
switch is the same without it; only the normal gpm things like copy
and paste.
