Easily done by the vi-impaired with mc. Cool! (I *can* use vi in a pinch, but... well... why? Especially when there's an alternative? {rhetorical; not flame bait!})

Not too well, I'm afraid. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD53FhtTMYHG2NR9URAjKCAJ0Zbqv+bqwl0K4ogqaDrsvpFrXk5ACcCL35 442xMT8TRDCAkZkjNCLu1mw= =Ivr4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
