	Please....I said "decent"!! :)   Actually, I don't know
	anything about emacs...other than what I read in the flame
	wars.  I've been using vi for 10 years, am more than happy
	with it, and have no desire to change.  It's been suggested
	that I get  copy of a unix shell which runs on top of aos.
	Too much overhead just for an editor.  Also, I don't have
	a compiler on the beast, for those who suggested I try to port
	it myself.  I was thinking that someone had probably done it
	by now....appears not.
