Hey,

So...here's something that's annoyed me for a long time, and now someone
else has asked me the same question.

When you're in vi...if you want to wrap a paragraph of text, you might use
a command like:

	!}fmt

Now, on every machine other than mine, this works.  On my FreeBSD box, I
get:
	stty: stdin isn't a terminal

(Though the wrap works fine and there are no other problems.)

What's going on here?  How do I fix this?

Clueless,

Brian
