That's weird, your 'vi' is probably not a 'vim', what does a 'vi' without arguments say? What is the output of: :version ? > When I did > $vim index.html > it does open the file with complete *text* including > the tags, but I am convenient with this mode as I am > used to working with the vi interface (? I don't what > else could I use?). Vim's commandset is a superset of vi's, and since you're asking a question on the vim mailinglist, I suppose you mean the 'vim interface'. It's possible your 'vi' is another implementation of 'vi' than 'vim'. If you answer the questions above, we can probably help you. > So, I would be glad and appreciate if somebody would > help me open my index.html with my *vi* so that I > could edit the content and the tags. What exactly do you mean with 'my *vi*', did you compile and install it yourself? In that case, you should enter the entire path of 'your *vi*'. > Thanks in advance for any help! No problem, though your problem is not yet entirely clear to me yet... Regards, Peter Palm
