For example, the version of vi I use for typing letters is: #! /bin/sh EXINIT='set terse shell=/bin/csh sw=4 wm=4 aw map! #1 ^V |map! Ow >>$a|map #1 :n |map #3 :ta map ^[Oq Gi/\<^[A\>^["zdd@z map ^[Or 1G!Gvispell^M map ^[OM /Spellist^M map ^[Ol :.,$d^M' export EXINIT exec /usr/local/vi $@ This will start up just as fast as regular vi. -- Mark J.
