Yes: compatibility mode isn't. Vim is vim, even when it's pretending to be vi, and it can't completely hide the sorry fact. Fortunately, I knew this was going to happen, and I'm keeping my old vi exec. I realize there are advantages in vim over other vi implementations, and maybe one day, when the inevitable comes round the bend, I'll become able to tolerate them. Until then, I wish that when I asked for vi, I got vi, and when I asked for viper, I got emacs. -- -D. dgc@xxxxxxxx.xxx University of Chicago > NSIT > VDN > ENSS > ENSA > You are here . . . . . . . always line up dotsThere's stuff above here
