The definitive :reference manuals are "An Introduction to Display Editing with VI", :"EX Reference Manual", "EDIT: A Tutorial", "Tutorial Introduction to ED", :and "Advanced Editing on UNIX". They are distributed with every BSD based :system I know of and are numbered USD:{15,16,14,12,13} in 4.3 BSD. [Look, Root Boy, we ain't TFPC any more!] Mr. Cottrell is suggesting that Berkeley UNIX comes with good vi documentation (which it does), and that System V doesn't (which it doesn't.) However, AT&T does make a variety of UNIX documentation available besides the manuals, including some vi tutorials paced so a non-technical person can understand them. Call the 1-800-828-UNIX folks and try to get a documentation catalog from them, or explain what you're looking for and they should be able to tell you how to order it. -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs Rnmail: .signature too boring - deleted
