I am very new to FreeBSD and am having trouble with it.  I want to run
vi on my personal account, but it either tells me, "Error: Temporary file: 
Permission denied" or after I changed my group access to wheel, "log db:
Permission denied".  What is going on?  Why can't I run vi, even though
I have the location in my path in my .cshrc?  Someone help!  Thanks,
email replies preferred but not necessary.
