Love it. I'm a vi guy these days. My first screen editor was something called DTE for Display Terminal Editor written by Dick Hause that ran on the Glance G terminals hooked our Honeywell 516 running 516-TSS. I have some vague recollection of at least one of these terminals ending up in the attic in the UNIX room, but I don't think that the editor was ever ported. It was painful to have to use ed or the 516-TSS equivalent when a terminal wasn't available. Vi was an easy transition because the ed commands could be used until the fancier stuff was learned. Also because that great vi trainer program rogue existed :-) Jon
