Oh, I didn't see this message - no, I don't seem to have it.
Could you resend?

To answer the question, I've been playing with Java and so have been 
using Eclipse quite a bit (which isn't bad - on hardware far superior to 
what I'm used to), but I keep a gvim nearby, too.

Yeah, that's a nice story. It took me *far* longer to get
used to Vi than that though, and I'm still probably nowhere
near as efficient as he seems to be.

Thanks for the link, I'll keep it around until I'm using VS
in anger.

All the best,

Mick
