I am a new user of FreeBSD migrating from Red Hat Linux. There are a few differences that I am having trouble with. vi - my editor of choice, and it doesn't work in the ways I expect it to. I am used to vi being aliased to vim (which I have done in FreeBSD) and having syntax highlighting, arrow keys, and a tell-tale line at the bottom of the xterm to remind me which mode I'm in, which line and position, and how much file I'm looking at. All these things are gone in FreeBSD. Could someone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks. -- yours, William
