I have been using jove and (sometimes uemacs) on a variety of platforms for
about 6 years.  GNU emacs is too much of a resource hog, and it is easier to
add features to jove or uem in C than to learn lisp.  I would like to become
more proficient in vi, but the best way of learning an editor is to use it.
Since most of my use of an editor is C code development, the ability of most
emacses to step through the errors is indispensable.  I am sure that vi can
be trained to do the same thing.  In fact I am surprised there is not a default
capability built in, since there are other things like electric C mode.

It might be trivial, but not to me.  I would appreciate if someone would post
a set of macros that would submit code to the C compiler and then parse and
step through the errors, forward and backward, for an arbitrary number of 
files.
