Hello,
	I am trying to execute the following script via :so
- ---------------------------------------------------
:%s/^/par2 r \"/g
:%s/$/\"/g
:1
:i
#!/bin/sh
.
- ---------------------------------------------------

all works fine until the end where I get the prompt:
"Entering ex input mode."
entering a period escapes it at that point, but it sticks the "." in the
text file i am editing. What character issues an escape in this version
of vi? The period works fine in vim to end text entry. TIA

Please respond off list also as I am not subscribed. Thanks again!
