From: <lars@acc.arpa> After moving up to VMS 4.1, I tried (again) something that failed before: Specifying (Eunice) VI as the editor in my MAIL$EDIT procedure. VI gets invoked, but seems to be unable to get single-character input from the terminal. The effect is rather as if VI were driven through a pair of mailboxes. But when I inserted a bunch of SHOW LOGICAL commands before invoking VI, the SYS$COMMAND and SYS$OUTPUT were both pointed to the terminal, and SYS$INPUT was pointed to the command file, but could be succesfully redirected to the terminal. EDT runs fine, why does VI not work ? / Lars Poulsen <Lars@ACC.ARPA> ------
