 I have put up TPU-VI and have encountered a problem:

   using the global substitution command
                 :g/targetstring/s//replace string/g

The VI editor goes into an infinite tail spin giving me
that "Line Length at Maximum, Can't Insert Characters" type of message.
You can't break out with ctrl-y or ctrl-c,  luckily we are on a PBX
and can disconnect.

Has anyone had this problem, or is this because it was munged over usenet?

I have tied to send a message to Greg Wonderly, but it was rejected..so
I doubt it got to him.

Any help with this would be appreciated!  Our CS dept wants to use it.
