Re: [TUHS] screen editors

vim has an option to undo the vi way. "set cpoptions=u". There is a full set of vi-compatible options if you want them. "set cp" turns on full vi compatiblity. Funny, I see vim as the vi that comes with UNIX, and never learned the enhancements, but I just tried it out and I don't have the compatibility option set. I don't seem to have noticed. I guess I don't do the "undo toggle" all that often. ??????
