Before I learned how wonderfull VI and Unix was. I used a little crappy DOS editor. I wouldn't go back to it for anything. However I work with a lot of formatted files that use the column position. I wonder if any here knows of a way to make VI display the cursors coulmn position or if there is a different text editior for unix that has this capability. Please if anyone know of one or how to make VI do it I will love you forever.

Depending on your "vi" version, there exist "set ruler" command.
Try to add line : set ruler to your ~/.exrc or ~/.vimrc file |

vi settings
type "set all" at the command mode colon.
this will give you all the options that are available on your flavor of UNIX.
