As a temporary solution until you got your correct terminal settings, remember that in command mode of vi you can always use the "x" to delete a character and dX to delete a word (X=w) a line (X=d) or to the end of the line (X=$). Also look at the substitute "s" and the replace "r" command. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
