Works for me. I "don't do vi", so I can't really help you with your problems. But are you using the elvis Debian package? I got the impression from your message that you aren't. If so, you might want to install it and see if it works better. And if it doesn't, you should file a bug report about it. It's real easy. Just email submit@bugs.debian.org. The first line of your message should say "Package: elvis", the second line should say "Version: 2.0-8" (or whatever version you have installed). Then you explain what doesn't work right, including error message given by the programs, etc. The more details, the better. Christian
