In vim, > they are. Yeah . . . I'm pretty sure that's normal behavior for vi/nvi. Using backspace, then hitting <ESC> to return to command mode, might cause the backspace text to disappear. Typing after backspacing might overwrite the backspaced text without having to leave insert mode, too. I'm going on memory, here, and may be mistaken -- I didn't use nvi for very long before going back to Vim. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] W.
