Re: Any poets here?

I guess that could be.

Vim as a package was installable though on Debian and Kubuntu, about 25
meg. I believe on one of the systems I had tried the "arrow keys in insert
mode" and it would paste the ANSI characters/commands (A, B, C, D) in the
text itself, instead of doing cursor movement. So there you have it. After
vim installation, that behaviour was gone. (for the "vi" command, I never
use "vim").
