[[i have too many current/recent copies of my working files to do TOO much damage!]] Anyway, is there a means of setting the undo key to mimic vi/nvi? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org For FBSD list: http://transfinite.thought.org/slicejourney.php
