Ah sorry Josh,

I should have read more carefully your post. This is the setting I
have out of the box, I just copy that file and I rather adapted to it
than the other way around. Just for getting in a box, copying that
tiny file, making sure that "set -o vi" and be operational. I'm quite
happy with the comments in blue.

Sorry again, I'm sure someone will come up with a decent answer.

Cheers,

John
