            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Used Vim a lot, very powerful once you get enough practice.

                Well he's done it, had to show him how to save it.

                I'm certain he did it in notepad and right clicked it into putty, the signs were there.

                These are AIX lpars, nowt much more than BOS plus ssh on so no fancy tools!

                Actually just checked - someone's put bash on, sacrilege!
