BTW for those who are unsure - vi is pronounced Vee Eye. We've got people at work who pronounce it "Vie" and that is definitely not the done thing How we snigger

A beautiful ex-girlfriend of mine (should have married her!), at my prodding years ago, wrote her entire masters thesis in VI. When she graduated from her University she landed a nice paying UNIX job at Lycos.De because, of her great UNIX/VI skills. VI pays $$$ !!!!
