I'd like to try an experiment which I've not seen done here before, if
it has then EXCUSE ME! :-) To the point...

Vi is a very powerful tool. What is obvious to one may not occur to another.
So... What I'd like is for you folks out there to send me - BY E_MAIL !!!
please do not follow up as we had enough mess from that Ada against the
world stuff - a quick trick or two that you use in vi. For example I've
found that many people don't know about alternating between two files
using :e# - I'm sure there's a lot of tricks that people use all the time
which aren't well known. Send me a few of yours and when I get a group I'll
post them back to comp.unix.questions and comp.unix.wizards.

Once again, please reply by e-mail, don't follow up to this article.

Thanks.

Burch Seymour
