[net.unix] Problems with the Vi editor

sink@ihuxr.UUCP (D. Sink) (01/19/84)

Is it me or is there a problem with the Vi editor command "control B"?
If a number is prefixed to the command the editor clears the screen
or worse, locks up the terminal.  
Another problem that comes up every once in a while is using "p"
after deleting part of a line with "D".  Using "p" at the end of the
line sometimes creates garbled words at the end.

Does Vi have a problem or me?

Someone posted a fix for the ^B-bug a long time ago.  The problem is
that the code for ^B has a "+" where it should have a "-" (or maybe
it's the other way around).  Look around in /usr/src/cmd/ex.
