I use vi as a root, and vi editing mode, but in zsh. Yes my root shell is zsh. Now days when zsh runs autoconf configure scripts I am even thinking to put it for /bin/sh instead of bash... heard that zsh developers do that. P.S. As a normal user I use xemacs, but of course in viper mode :-) -- Tomislav Vujec [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------- To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion...
