As a co-worker of old used to regularly say "you can't spell vile
without vi"... 8-)

In the spirit of Python (Monty, that is)... In my day, we used "ex"
at 300 baud half duplex on a teletype, and we were thankful, because it
wasn't "ed"...

I actually used that the other day. Hmm. Can you hear that noise? It's
all the emacs users laughing at us - it's always done stuff like this.

Uh - vi's been able to do this for a while...

Yep, any time I have spend some time using Wintendo, I find a vi clone and
install it. Broken we are.

We want to be careful, 'cause Dave is an Emacs man. He'll start posting
Albatross "major modes" to the list if we get him worked up...  8-)
