Yeah, a few people suggested that. Tended to end up just typing ":q" in 
the file though...

Well, let's see. I've never seen Unix in my life, and I'm trying to get 
it to work. I have no idea what I'm doing, nobody to help me, and no 
manual. So at this point, I'm stumbling along as best as I can. [Given 
that I've spent 4 entire *days* on it by now.] I was curios, but even my 
curiosity has limits. ;-)

Fortunately, things have improved since those days. [Although I have 
still yet to figure out vim or emacs.]
