- Interesting...... that would jive with my observations as well, but it only
- pertains to local items.
-
- I need to log things which come from >other< machines!

- My other current complaint which has gone unanswered is that the "preserve"
- function in "vi" does not work. It creates a file all right, but the file
- is trash when you attempt to retrieve it.
-
- Again, this is a DELL-specific bug.
