If anyone knows how to achieve this feat, please >post it, or respond via email. > If you are using Custom Software Systems PC/VI, it will execute a file called vi.ini to get around all of these problems. To use this file EXINIT must NOT be set and the file must reside in your HOME directory or root of the current drive. A second VI.INI file may reside in your current working directory for additional commands. The manual states these are useful for different kinds of file editing ( text vs. program). This is equivelant to the UNIX vi file .exrc Try it and good luck. Tom Lester cb3D277 x3259
