I happen to like text-mode consoles for doing my editing. I'll happily run shell commands in xterms but vi* just looks best in text mode, IMHO. gram (P.S. _ I also like ScrlLck and PgUp/PgDn far more than using the scroll bar in an xterm. And when running Windoze, I usually have at least one DOS box open, Alt-Enter-ed to be a full-screen text mode DOS shell. Maybe I'm just old school...). -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
