Basically you are in the vi editor. If you did not make any changes and you want to exit vi, you would type [:yellow]:q. If you did make some changes you would type [:yellow]:wq, which would write the changes and quit the editor.

Scream, you amaze me. I don't know how you find the time to code this board and answer the million-and-a-half questions a day you get around here.

Oh, and since I have your attention... I've got this nagging pain in my lower back that won't go away. Do you know what's causing that? []/forumimages/smile.gif[/]
