It's possible that the alternatives didn't get updated. I *think* (Ubuntu being a Debian derivative, and this works on Debian) you can do sudo update-alternatives --config vi which will let you manually specify the binary to use. In this case, it *should* point to vim.gtk, so if it doesn't, you can repoint it. It would also help to know how the OP is invoking it: if Ping is invoking it as "vim.gtk" to obtain the correct version information, but then invokes it as "vi" or "vim", it might be using some other binary. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
