Please note that I stated my preference was based solely on my ignorance of vi. I've used vi and read chunks of the man pages. It is an impressive program and I'm sure if I used it daily I'd come to appreciate it's brutally curt command structure. But to get work done now/today/real-time this newbie needs an editor that I can use without having another virtual terminal tuned into the man page! And there's no point in starting holy/flame wars in this mailing list. We're newbies and won't understand what you're babbling about anyway! :-) John Purser On Friday, March 27, 1998 8:18 PM, Capriotti [SMTP:capriotti@geocities.com] wrote: > Oh, please, John ! > > Don't mention this ee vs vi issue, please ! > > This will cause - hopefuly not - another religious war here ! > > FYI, some ppl love vi the way it is, and it's the best text editor ever, ok ? > > Just say yes ! > > :) > > > > >been replaced by /etc/rc.conf.
