Question: REGARDING VI EDITOR RECOVERY

Description:

   Power went off so the system went down.
   He was in the middle of a "vi" session.
   Is there any way to recover the edits he had done at the
   time the system went down?

Answer:

   Usually "vi" will save the work in progress.
   Execute the following command to see if it did:

      vi -r filename

   This will usually bring the filename back up with edits intact.
