Because you will not always have the luxury of using KDE to edit files. What if you want to do a quick edit on a remote server and your only connection to it is through a ssh session? You need a good console edit utility and vi is available on pretty much every version of *nix you are likely to encounter. Believe me, the small investment in time will pay off. (I happen to like the nano editor, but I am glad I learned vi for it has served me well). Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Right behind you, I see the millions Got spam?
