The question I should be asking is why on earth would anyone use vim? :)
Learnt it (well, 'vi') on the Sun systems several years ago...never bothered to use anything else :-) Once I'd learnt the keystrokes I found that vi/vim did pretty much everything I wanted with an editor. Probably a whole load that it can't do as well mind... :-)
For years I avoided learning vi(m) until I left uni and got dropped into the Solaris enviroment where console based text editing is by default vi or ed. These days i use vim on Linux just out of habit, and pico has become almost alien to me. And I like the nice syntax highlihting vim will do, much better than manky emacs :) </editor_wars> Alex. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
