There seems to be some new change(s) to vi.  When I went to delete a file,
which I do by <lines-1 dd> and then <:wq>, I got some message in reverse 
video that sounded like I'd dd'ed all the lines, not leaving a buffer.  When
I did the <:wq> it said it was making a new file.  When I looked at the file
after this, the original file was there.  Help.

Crazy.  I just tried it again and it worked in usual fashion.  
Thanks Valerie.
