Busybox and vi


Hi,

I'm using Busybox on Slackware 2.6.10 and have a problem with vi that is included thre. It starts in 80x24 mode. It's hard to work with the small editor window in the upper left corner. Is there a way to set the vi "size" ? -w option is not included in BusyBox version of vi.

You can use:

:set lines=[# of lines] columns=[# of columns]

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully enough. I somehow got the impression that you are using an actual vi(m) on top of a busybox shell. Can't help you with busybox's vi, but I'm pretty sure that you're out of luck there
