However it doesn't work, vile doesn't seem to accept the J, it just echoes it and then refuses to accept any more input. Why isn't J acceptable there and, more to the point, how can I do what I want to do?You want a lower-case "j", i.e. the ex join command.No, that doesn't work, I tried it. I think (see my further postings) that only a few commands work with :g and join isn't one of them.
You can see the available commands by doing a name-completion (usually double-tab). vile checks the command after it's read, to see if it has the GLOBOK flag (internal) set. It would be nicer if it only prompted for the names that have the flag set... -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
