>Description:
	When switching between files with ctrl-^ the cursor is now
	at the top of the screen.  The previous behaviour was for
	the cursor to be in the middle of the screen.  Having been
	used to the previous behaviour since Pooka was in nappies,
	I find the new behaviour highly annoying...

>How-To-Repeat:
	Edit two longish files (ie, more than a screen), move down
	from the two in each file and switch between them with ctrl-^.

>Fix:
	Unapply rev 1.6 in common/exf.c ?

RCS file: /cvsroot/basesrc/usr.bin/vi/common/exf.c,v
----------------------------
revision 1.6
date: 2002/01/13 11:57:38;  author: aymeric;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
Fix FreeBSD PR #12801, the way nvi 1.81.5 does it.
(vi dumped core when editing a new file after having edited another one)
=============================================================================

	Unfortunately that probably isn't the right solution.
