It may be less(1) expected than you think, but it is. Actually editing the file is not very useful because it's a tmp file. To get out of vi(1) again, just use the normal ":q". For documentation, see http://man.openbsd.org/less#v or type "man less", then hit the keys ENTER, COLON, t, v, ENTER. If you don't like all that, you can set $ export LESSEDIT=false Yours, Ingo
