How about a complete "ex" mode?
There is a freely redistributable VI clone called "elvis" that has virtually
all of "vi" and "ex" commands, instead of a subset like "stevie" or "z". I
was going to port it to the Amiga when my RAM card died. It's going to be
pubbed in comp.sources.misc in a week or so by the author, along with MS-DOS
and ST ports. An Amiga port of Elvis would be greatly appreciated.
