I'll have to check this out. Most of my spare time right now is spent
trying to get the network at home to work so the machines will share
stuff. I have 2 Debian boxes (Duron 750 -- my workstation , 486 --
router for internet) and 2 Windoze boxes (PII 300 , Win98 ; 486 Win95
-- both my dad's, my brothers use for homework).

Come to think of it, emacs has more modes that vim ;-). (python-mode
c-mode this-mode that-mode)

I should. I've tried to introduce some of my friends to vim (CS
students at school). They didn't have any (real) editor experience,
and IMO CDE's notepad or Nedit don't really cut it for coding. I've
just learned about ^N ^P and ctags over on Python-list. Really cool.
Can I write it in LaTeX? I want to learn to use latex effectively.
It will probably take me a while due to time constraints. OTOH I will
be taking a trip soon and have lots of travel time I might be able to
put to good use. If not, this summer when I am bored in class I
should try and be useful ;-).
