If paying is not a problem, (See "are linux users tightwads" thread in OT) the O'Reilly "Learning the Vi Editor" by Linda Lamb and Arnold Robbins is still well worth having on the shelf. The sixth edition (1998) has sections on Vim and the other clones. I'll laugh (and buy it) if there is ever a 7th... -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 PS: Believe it or not, using Vi can become so natural that using a WYSIWYG editor for email feels strange. If Kmail didn't ignore then, this mail would be full of <escape>s (end insert mode)

If you prefer to use Vi to edit your email, why don't you use Mutt as MUA? Personnally I use Emacs as editor with Mutt except that with my shift from SuSE-7.3 to SuSE-8.2 I have a problem of configuring correctly the locale and I don't have certain accented characters with Emacs but well with Vi. I'll sent and e-mail about it hoping to have an answer on how to set the locale or Emacs to have all accented characters. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
