You're welcome, TerryP.

I've always just used "vi" on FreeBSD, but I wondered about whether "nvi" was installed. /usr/bin has both, but they are the same file size, and diff shows no differences between the files.

Are they the same? If so, why not just use a symbolic link and save a bit of disk space?
