i don't employ the pasting practice much. i could try it from vim sometime, but i don't think you'd like that editor...

Is that like WinVI?

Vaguely. WinVI is a Windows-only notepad replacement that borrows what it can from vi. vim is essentially a vi replacement. It enhances old school vim by adding functionality people today expect like multiple undos. It's also cross-platform. Pretty much anyone nowadays who says that he uses "vi" as his editor probably actually uses vim (that includes me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). It won out as pretty much the standard vi implementation; I've never known anyone who actually used elvis, etc..
