Re: Hello - Welcome

I find the multiple undo/redo feature to be the most important feature
in vim. Vi is lacking in this.



Other features:

Long line lengths (I think this was fixed in AIX 5.something).

The ability to edit a large log file without running /tmp or the current
directory out of space.

Heh, you don't have to miss xedit. Check out 'THE' (The
Hessling Editor)

The more I learn about vim, the more I like it... just plain vi on the
other hand... (or maybe we have a particularly old version... :-)

Now, if I can just convince people we need to install vim...


Thank you for the other information too...

Cheers,
Don
