You might want to try > that. sorry, that is what I thought when I bought Turbo. Unfortunately, like word *, you are perpetually in insert mode therefore every command has to be a control something. Forget this fact and type dd and your line now has two extra d's in it. For someone who has used vi for a long time it is totally frustrating. I'd also like to flame anyone who thinks using the control key and any character normally typed with the left hand is ok, but this only applies to typing. I guess programming is different (we're all mutants? :-). Neal Sedell tektronix!tekigm!neals "^KD", that's mnemonic? gimme ":wq" any day!
