I tracked it down to the phrase 'Telex: 154232...'. If you change the colon to something else, you don't get the message. It is interesing that the end of Telex: is 'ex:', so maybe vi is trying to interpret embedded code (I never knew it could!). I don't have time to run this down further, but if anyone does, please let me know what you find. Steve Conrad -- Steven A.
