Others have addressed your actual question, but I feel I should point out that there was no 'v' command in traditional vi. I assume "set compatible" in vim only changes vim's behaviour where it conflicts with traditional/POSIX vi but non-conflicting extensions are still available. Someone else gave a link to the online POSIX vi man page; you could use that reference as a way to identify what things that still work in vim with "set compatible" are non-standard. -- Geoff Clare <netnews@gclare.org.uk>
