The great kre finally makes a mistake! I've been waiting for this for a long time . . . :-) ``ZZ'' is exactly equivalent to ``:x'' (in fact it puts an ``x'' command into glob and goes to doinit, which amounts to pretending the user typed ``:x''). Seriously, though, the rest of what he said is correct; ``ZZ'' is not intended to be equivalent to ``:wq''. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
