Howdy all!
I am still a great fan of my gui text editor, Ultraedit, but I am trying to
get to know vi so I can truly compare them.
I found this about copy in vi's help system:
:[range]co[py] {address} *:co* *:copy*
Copy the lines given by [range] to below the line
given by {address}.
Does the address refer to a line number here? Is there a way turn line
numbers on?
Does vi allow for a simple copy/cut and paste?
I read the section for wrap too - so I can turn wrapping on and off easily,
but it didn't make sense to me. How do I turn this option on and off?
Thanks for any help!
Rob
