I should probably learn how to use VIM properly one day. I only know how to
save and change from insert mode to overwrite mode. *smile*

That's a serious pitfall, no doubt. For equations I will always use LyX with
its excellent Math Panel. This obviates the need to memorise symbols and
complex syntax and it also enables you to view the outcome without
compiling. Work dirty, leave pretty output to the end. That's the only way
to work on a PDA without doing nasty conversion and easting up the battery.
Best wishes,
Roy
