I'm an emacs user so I don't have any of these on my system. I don't know which you would have, but there should be documentation for it... If you are lucky, there is a "stripped" ex command on your distribution, and the most common one distributed in Linux is called "hex". Maybe you have a manpage for it? -lar "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around. No time for dancing or lovey-dovey, I ain't got time for that now.
