I'm no exception... :-) The new "vi" has two new flaws IMHO... o The ESC timeout is too short. My definition of too short is that when you're telneted to another machine on the same Ethernet segment, and up arrow sometimes gets misinterpreted as ESC, A, causing it to open a new line, insert an A, etc. etc. o Sometimes when I exit out (maybe via control-z) it displays some message in reverse video at the bottom, but forgets to reverse it back, so now everything on the command line is in reverse video. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
