vi?  O_O  Would nano not work?  I got stuck in vi once.  I felt like I 
was in Hotel California.  :/   Got that tune in your head now huh?  lol

I'm going to see what else is available too.  I bet since Krename is 
installed, rename is installed too.  I'm sure Krename is just a GUI 
front end to something already on here.

Oh, if I learn vi, I'd learn sed, gawk and those other weird named 
commands too.  I'd be a official something.  I'm already called a geek 
and a nerd.  ;-)  Gentoo you know?
