Subject:   "vi" problem with search & replace (vi do not accept "/").
Message-ID:  <365B4001.4EFA71EB@aei.ca>

This is not FreeBSD specific, but I guess someone could give me the
trick:
I want to "search & replace" the sentence "</TT></B></FONT>" with
"<</COMMAND>>".

:%s/</TT></B></FONT>/<</COMMAND>>/g

But that give me an error (has I expected, because of the "/" in those
HTML tags.

Usage: [line [,line]] s [[/;]RE[/;]repl[/;] [cgr] [count] [#lp]].

Well, I don't know how to type a "/" without interfering with vi's /.

Thank you
