Took it down last night for lev0-dump; lost
all those "bad" shell-buffers.
So, from scratch, try this one, and see if
you can discover how to recover from it:
| cpml% printf "hello\nHere we are. We are now HERE.\nGoodbye\n" >! foo.foo
| cpml% cat foo.foo
| hello
| Here we are. We are now HERE.
| Goodbye
| cpml% vi foo.foo
|
| [Using open mode]
| 1
| "foo.foo" 3 lines, 45 characters
| 1
|
| 2 .
| \a
| 3 3
| \a
| \aq
| \a\a
| \a\a\a\a <---- Tried a series of Control-C chars here
| | \a <---- each line comes from a simple newline.
| \a
| \a
|
Thanks for *any* hints on escaping from this hole!
