-
- Try to create a file called:
-
- $HOME/.exrc
-
- Inside that file, put:
-
- se ts=3
-
- You may also want to check out the nearest VI archive.
-
- From two of the INDEX files at the VI/EX archives around the world:
-
- For a intro on using VI fetch one or several of these files:
-
- ex.reference.Z EX Reference Manual. UCB-dist. A Must.
- ex.summary.Z EX Command Summary. UCB-dist.
- vi.apwh.ms.Z VI Command & Function Reference. UCB-dist.
- vi.beginers.Z VI beginers guide.
- vi.chars.Z Apendix: character functions. UCB-dist. A Must.
- vi.intro.Z Introduction on Display Editing with VI. UCB-dist. A Must.
- vi.reference.Z VI reference. Version 8. Maarten Litmaath. A Must.
- vi.tutor.tar.Z An interactive tutor for VI. (Ver: 1.3) Beginers choice.
-
-
- In the 'macros/' directory you may want to dig out:
-
- exrc.ach - "The Super .exrc File" compiled by Anthony C Howe.
- exrc.brp - A nice exrc file from Bill "Rock" Petro.
- generals.2 - EXRC and Pascal. Bradford L Knowles.
- jl.ex - Some 'beginer' macros. Joel Loo Peing Ling.
-
-
- In all cases you should get the INDEX files in both the 'main' and the
- 'macros' directory.
