I use screen for certain things (particularly when I'm upgrading a server remotely over SSH, or in single-user mode) but syscons is much easier to work with for me when it's available. I think I'm inclined to go with the "script" route and just ignore/remove the vi-generated junk, this sounds the most practical. (reverting to a line-editor I don't think is an option :-) I'll do some testing and see how it goes. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Phil -- Philip J.
