I like that idea a lot. I already use vi keys for my ksh command line editing, so if I could get the same kind of thing in my v... err.... I don't think it would be exactly the most trivial thing to give nvi vi-command-history, but it's certainly worth doing. It doesn't use -ledit or -lreadline, though I _imagine_ it wouldn't be hard to make just ":" do that, but history would be more difficult again if you want to support multiple windows in nvi with different history. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> green@FreeBSD.org \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\
