Umm, VIm with multiple horizontal windows?  Or any text containing
tables?  In fact, that's why VIm added the "box select" feature...

Well, the implication was that if *you* don't use a particular feature, it
is not at all useful to *anyone*, which is plainly wrong.

  Thanks, I was planning to do that myself.  Busy at work now, but will have

  Save a couple of hippos for me!

Dave, I just wanted to check in with you to see if you were ok.

I, for one, always enjoy the humor and the sarcasm.  I hope you weren't too
discouraged that this enjoyment is not universal.

But what do I know?  I use a Windows shell all the time.

  Nah!

  Oh, well then everything you say must be wrong.  Because the epitome and
arbiter of all good taste has spoken, and he says so.  

  So there!   :-p~~~

Heh. Glad I didn't send a similar reply to the main list (and before 
reading the thread on -talk, at that :-) ). And you can add kate to the 
list of editors with block selection (I thought vim had it also, but my 
vim-fu is practically non-existent).
