This is what I was also wondering Chris. I always vi in single user
mode. Or since I have an NFS mount on my network I mount it thro' NFS
after assigning a static IP (DHCP does not work) and work.

I have never had to use ed either in single user mode or for scripting.

I use vim all the time. He he.
