Actually, I always though to vim as the system's "non-minimal" vi flavor, reserving the "minimal" role to vi from busybox, but I can agree that a minimal vim (linking as less things as possible) which coexists with a full-featured gvim is a reasonable solution. So the split makes sense. Thank you again. -- Alessandro DE LAURENZIS [mailto:just22.adl@gmail.com] LinkedIn: http://it.linkedin.com/in/delaurenzis
