I guess it's pretty obvious I'm not a very good carrot maker : } The PHP code
and the brackets are what i needed to yank..... I used spaces to seperate the
carrots (no tabs) so I don;t know what happened. Looking at it on NN/iMac it
looks fine right now. But when I read your reply I saw that there were 30 or
so spaces between the carrots. Oh well.. Sorry.

Yep. Thank you.

It's nvi. And man nvi is saying it looks for ~/.nexrc then ~/.exrc and I've
tried both of them as well as virc and vimrc for safe measure. nvi -u ~/.nexrc
just gave me illegal option. I RTFM and nothing in there looks like it could
be the equiv.

Thanks again,
