SEMINAR: LUNCH BYTES seminar WEDNESDAY: Vi text editor

["Teddy Allen" <tallen@rsmas.miami.edu>]

Please join us tomorrow at noon for another installment of the Lunch Bytes
student computing seminar! This week's topic features a Vi text editor
"jam session" that promises to revolutionize how you, uh hum, edit text.
Milan Curcic from MPO will be guiding us through this presentation that
promises to inform and entertain. Below is his description of the seminar:

Vi is a very simple, yet amazingly powerful text editor that has seen rise
and fall of many generations of programmers, poets, travelers, geniuses
and madmen. In this informal seminar, you will learn:
- How to write a text file;
- How to search efficiently through, dare we say, millions of lines;
- How to edit text efficiently, including lightning fast copying/pasting,
pattern matching, find and replace and more;
- Why you should finally ditch that devil's toy, "the mouse";
- Why Vi needs no "Church of Vi";
If you never used it before, come see why Vi is not only a text-editor,
but a way of life. If you tried using it, but were intimidated by its
simplicity and power, come, we will take you by the hand. If you are a Vi
expert, and are able to program without a computer screen, come for a
refresher or show us some tricks.


As you can see, he has a lot in store for us.
