I want to map into eight s, but so far I can only do this by typing :map s directly to vi, not from .exrc or EXINIT. I tried using all reasonable numbers of s rather than two (e.g. 0,1,3,and 4) but no luck -- vi seems to be throwing them (and consequently the important 'whitespace') on the floor. Any suggestions? --dmy--
