Hi,<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;vim is advanced version of vi.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;However, with text editor, which deals with ASCII code, it's hard to draw a closed box.<br />
However, you can use &quot;+&quot; at each corner of the box.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;ACS_BLOCK is a parameter for programming fuctions which are defined in ocurses.h.<br />
It's not for plain text file.<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
