I know about vim and about it's compatible option. Just curious if there is a "pure" vi available and it seems not to be... thanks though /totte "DePriest, Jason R." wrote in message news:F67AB1DD14544242BE5BFE94F5939175B7F296 AT E2KMEMMCS1 DOT ftbco DOT ftn DOT com... Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but try this command-line option with vim. -+- man vim -+- -C Compatible. Set the 'compatible' option. This will make Vim behave mostly like Vi, even though a .vimrc file exists. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
