Como) Organization: Brookhaven National Lab, Upton NY Lines: 16 I have a question about "vi"...If you are editing a file and want to look at another file (just for reference) is there a way? I have tried ":r filename" and it appends the filename to the original file. Also how can I keep switching from file1 to file2 without "setting autowrite". como@bnl.gov BITNET: como@bnl.BITNET UUCP: ....philabs!sbcs!bnl!como
