A correct implementation of the problem? *ROFL* I know, it's a typo, I just thunk it be funny. Anyway. A correct implementation of the problem is not a bad way of putting it. Moving the cursor around in the middle of the insert command indicates a confusion about how vi works. Really. I had "unmap up" and so on in my .exrc for years. It causes more problems than it helps, especially on flakey lines or telnet sessions when your cursor commands start with escape. -- The Reverend Peter da Silva, ULC, COQO, BOFH.
