[ale] ascii code search/replace in vi

[Geoffrey]

I'm not sure how it's being represented in vi, but you can do cntrl-V 
cntrl-CHAR, where CHAR is the control character you're searching for. 
In other words, if you're trying to locate ^H, you use cntrl-V cntrl-H.

Man I hope that makes sense...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
