fwd: vim

[Rodney Clowdus]

Let's say we have a file named time and we want to append the output of the 
command date to the file.  Quit vi in you are in it and type date >> time and 
the output of date will be appended to the file named time.   If you want to 
overwrite the file type only one > but to append type two >>.  I find it 
works pretty good for me.  My two cents worth.
