I want to write a simple macro that opens a new line and inserts the vertical bar (unix pipe operator). I cannot find a way of turning off the meaning of | in ex. Is there a way? The macro I've tried is map v o| When i try to execute this macro I get a blank line. Where is the vertical bar? I thought that in insert mode you should be able to enter any character. Well, o puts you in insert mode. What is missing? Thanks...sj
