Hi Jorge, > Vim does its job, and after quitting vim I get:
Actually, you are getting the Vim: Reading from stdin... first, and then Vim does it's job. When Vim quits, it restores the screen (available in some termcaps), which includes the prior Vim message that it was reading from stdin. I believe it is possible to change Vim's termination behavior such that it does not restore the screen, rather it does a screen clear or just drops the cursor to the bottom of the screen and exit (keeping the rest of just-quit Vim's screen contents onscreen, except for the top line or two which may scroll off, depending on your PS1 or PROMPT setting). But that's different from the other poster's issue, where Vim would hang (i.e., not "do its job"). --Eljay
