[sf-lug] entering dates in vim text editor

[alexkleider]

While editing a file using vim the following:
!!date
results in the date being inserted.
Although the following at the command line:
$ date +%c
works as expected,
within vim
!!date +%c
results in an error.
Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks in advance.
