Ok, that has solved it.
Sorry, but I've never used vi before.

But seriously, is it *that* unusable?
How do you write in it?
Space doesn't work, letters don't print, all what I managed to figure out was that "q" sets recording to on, whatever that is...

I'm not being funny, I was rather shocked how a five second job in nano
"Defaults:ALL timestamp_timeout=0"
Resulted in half an hour of getting absolutely nothing done but ruin the sudoers.tmp file and eventually lock myself out due to a forced close.

Sorry, as you may know all about how to use vi yourself, but it wasn't very pleasant to my first experience of it (and yes, I do use emacs on the odd occasion before you start thinking it)

Thank-you anyway.
Problem is solved now.

Regards
Iain
