You need to define "problem" first :)

I want "vi" to always call "vim" .. hrmm.. unless I've explicitly done
something to explicitly over-ride that.

So anytime I type in 'vi' and don't get the VIM Huge version without
GUI I'd say that's a problem.

I've got "export EDITOR=vi" in my .bash_profile, so anytime $EDITOR is
called I want the huge version of vim.
If that doesn't happen I'd say that is a problem.

If I'm in a bash sheel & do /bin/sh I expect typing in 'vi' will get
me the same results as when I was in bash
Same deal with dash -- I still want my expected version of vim to run

So ... a very long way of saying No, I don't think the second shell
not being a login shell is 'the problem.'
My experience is that Debian always does the right thing wrt vi/vim.
Cygwin does not.  It'd be interesting to know if redhat linux uses
alternatives or an alias to decide which vi/vim gets called.

Lee
