Actually, the variable names I used earlier in the thread were
VI (for Variable Integer), VS (for Variable String), and VB (for
Variable Block). I just re-used the VI name out of context.
That said, actually I do use vim. (I just got 6.0 on my laptop.)
I decided years ago that a single multi-platform editor was A
Good Idea. That pretty much narrowed the choices down to vi and
emacs, and vi was more readily available on more of the platforms
I use(d). Once I found vim, there was no looking back!
If you've got an up-to-date REBOL syntax file, I'd love to swipe
a copy!
As for my being offended, I'm just glad you decided to look for
hidden meanings in the name VI instead of the name VB! The
possibities in that one are truly horrifying!
