Hmmm... I for one would not want it to be the standard editor. Vi is and always has been the standard editor for unix. I think it should stay that way. One of the first two commands on any new boxen that I create is: rm /usr/bin/ee ; ln -s /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/ee Lets keep the unix editor the standard unix editor, vi... or at least offer a choice ,I think there is/was somthing like that in the /stand/sysconfig when configuring. At least for vipw. - branson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Branson Matheson " If you are falling off of a mountain, System Administrator You may as well try to fly."
