(Blush)  You're right...  I don't know WHAT came over me!  That said,
let me just state for the record that ALL 'real programmers' use vi,
which, as has been noted previously, is pronounced vee-eye.  Only
inferior wimps who fear the power of UNIX/AmigDOS and the shell use
novice level editors like emacs. :-) :-) :-)

If you insist! :-)
