From: Bob English <bob@ucla-locus> Maybe this fact is buried somewhere in the bowels of the vi documentation, but I recently discovered, to my chagrin, that global operations clear vi's "undo" registers, whether they do anything or not. Not only does ":u" or "u" fail, but all the numerical buffers are cleared as well. There may be some deep reason for this (vi may use those registers internally to save the reams for information necessary for a global undo) but I think it still qualifies as a bug. --bob--
