beastie.4th and Vi escape character

[l2f]

Dear,

I would like to modify the beastie.4th color but when I edit the file with vi and generate the escape character with Ctrl+V+ESCAPE_KEY it looks like ok but when I reboot I got an error from Forth language and I am forced to reboot with the liveCD to put back the original beastie.4th file.

Any help will be great.

Regards,

l2f

All I can think of is to check the permissions.

What was the error you got? It may be something else you accidentally changed. I sometimes find documents I've written with a ":wq" somewhere in the middle :OO

Dear,

I double checked the permissions, because it was r--r--r-- so I have to change the permissions and I put them back as they were before editing.

The error was: ." Not found

I found the problem: you need to put a space between the ." and the escape character
works:

2dup at-xy ." ^[[1;37;44m YOUR_ASCII_ART "

doesn't work:

2dup at-xy ."^[[1;37;44m YOUR_ASCII_ART "

Thank a lot to all of you for the help
