Folks;
I know this may sound stupid, but when i use vi to edit in SUSE, i see the file has a lot of underlines, how can i get rid of underline permanently so when i open any file to edit, i don't see any underlines?
Thanks in advance

Hia,
this is a very low priority request, but I am slightly annoyed by the behaviour of the tags in the message editor. They behave assymetric in the sense that the opening tag is introducing an empty line, and the closing tag is not, and can't be convinced to do otherwise. I know I am... (1 Reply)

UL(1) General Commands Manual UL(1)
NAME
ul - do underlining
SYNOPSIS
ul [ -i ] [ -t terminal ] [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Ul reads the named files (or standard input if none are given) and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which indicates
underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the environment variable TERM. The -t option overrides the terminal kind specified in
the environment. The file /etc/termcap is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining. If the terminal is incapable of
underlining, but is capable of a standout mode then that is used instead. If the terminal can overstrike, or handles underlining automati-
cally, ul degenerates to cat(1). If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
The -i option causes ul to indicate underlining onto by a separate line containing appropriate dashes `-'; this is useful when you want to
look at the underlining which is present in an nroff output stream on a crt-terminal.
SEE ALSO
man(1), nroff(1), colcrt(1)
BUGS
Nroff usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to opti-
mize the backward motion.
