I am after infomation on how to run the edit program Vim so I can edit the
interfaces file - Sylpheed is the editor I would have used but it was not
installed.

"man vim" ?<br>
<br>
But seriously...<br>
<br>
"vim filename" or "vim /path/filename"<br>
<br>
Once you're in, ":help" will get you going.<br>
<br>
Common commands (enough to get you by) are:<br>
<br>
'insert key' to toggle insert and replace modes<br>
'esc key' to turn off insert so you can type commands (preceded by a
":")<br>
"dd" to cut an entire line<br>
"p" to paste<br>
":q" to quit<br>
":q!" quite without saving<br>
":wq" write then quit (save changes)<br>
<br>
I can't think of any more that I used on a regular basis and for what
you need, that should do the trick.<br>
<br>
Remember to hit escape before you start typing ':commandname' or you'll
add more stuff to the file.<br>
Remember escape and then ":q" is your friend if you think you made a
mistake.<br>
<br>
Hope that is of some help...<br>
