<br>
Sorry to bother you but hopefully you may be able to help me.<br>
<br>
It might not be so much a bug, but i am trying to map ;; to <Esc> to
break from insert to command mode.<br>
<br>
It works on windows, and linux but for the life of me i can't get it working on
the VMS port.<br>
<br>
I have tried:<br>
<br>
imap ;; <Esc> <br>
imap ;; ^[ " using ctrl-v then hitting
ESC<br>
<br>
amongst others.<br>
<br>
Interestingly, i can map <Esc> to the v key (but this is not what i want)<br>
<br>
map v ^[<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks again !!!!<br>
<br>
