Therefore I don't use vi.' Strange strange. I think removing all features you don't use from all programs you use is going to be a lot of work. If one has emotional reasons for something then one should go ahead and say so, rather than rationalizing in a way that causes other people to try to explain the flaws in their logic. A friend of mine says he doesn't want to use an editor which he can program and therefore sticks to vi (nvi without the Perl stuff, to be precise). I wouldn't dream of trying to discuss with him -- he's happy and that's fine. But then he doesn't discuss with me -- I'm happy and that's fine, too. kai -- OOP: object oriented programming; OOPS: object oriented mistakes
