",=20 or by starting vi with a single file or with no file argument at all,=20 in which case you can load a file from inside the vi with the=20 vi command ':n <file_to_load>'), you can cycle from a file to the next=20 (and when you are at the last,you restart with=20 the first and so on,like in a "ring")=20 inside the editor with the command ':n#' (yes, ":n#") Cheers Bruno --- [Quipo ISP - Questa E-mail e' stata controllata dal programma Declude Virus] [Quipo ISP - This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
