Ok, I assumed that would be the same as -v but I'll try it and search 
the help and web to see if there's a way to do that permanently; thanks.

I'm not sure I follow your logic but your tone is coming through crystal 
clear. Given that everyone else appears to accept vim and that the link 
I posted earlier was to a port that was seriously buggy, and that even 
"elvis" seems to be "improved" these days, I'll leave vim installed for 
my friend and see if she accepts it.

Thanks for your help.
