Another version of "vi" for Winduhs can be found at www.cygwin.com. Install everything and you'll get vim for Winduhs. It can make your Winduhs look half way decent. Here are commands that you don't frequently see on a Winduhs workstation:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SVetsa-IT 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10 08:34 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

$ ls -l /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 MGogala Users 7 Nov 24 09:37 /usr/bin/vi -> vim.exe

VIM is better. www.vim.org has syntax highlighting built in and comes with it already set up. -- -- Bill "Shrek" Thater ORACLE DBA shrekdba_at_gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine (Song of Solomon 6:3) -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
