Thus, for example, if you say :ab q Qume Corp and later say :q! then this is translated to :Qume Corp! leading to an error message. This may be considered a bug or a feature depending on your point of view. I would like vi changed so expansions only happen in insert mode. Mark Callow Qume Corp. {decvax!}ittvax!qumix!msc
