take note, lewis carrol fans: awksome = awkward + awesome.

sql plus has only simple line editing to correct oops-type errors, not to write major applications. in an x- or osf- environment, or in ms-windows, you can open a sql plus session window and a vi window, and edit/save in one and _at_file in the other.
