I forget what BK used, but I think it was "-Y" (with lowercase "-y" being "take message from file". Or maybe the other way around). Or if you want to be more CVS-like, use "-F", and accept "-" for stdin? But I like "test -t 0" regardless. Very few editors are ok with non-tty stdin, although I could imagine some disturbed individual having "ed" as their editor and expecting to be able to pipe commands into it or something. Linus
