this key sequence is correct to insert a CR in a line in vi.

I'll try it out in Stevie tonight, very worrying, I use stevie all the time.

who ported it?, is the ported source available? - there are a few other things
I'd like to add.

  I do this all the time in Stevie without a problem. Make sure you've
got the very latest version from Pindarus (It's dated June or July).
It could be a screen driver bug in Stevie that was fixed some time
ago.

I got the latest version just recently, thinking that might fix the 
problem.  The executable is dated July 18, 1992, but the problem still 
occurs.

Any other ideas?

    Hmmm... I'm fairly sure I've done that with stevie before and haven't
noticed any problem.  I'll try it again to make sure.  But you really should
be using MicroEMACS instead.  ;-)

Kind of unreasonable (not intended as a flame) ... while both emacs and
vi are good editors, trying to convince people to change is generally
a waste of breath.  Both work, both have their strengths.  Personally,
I detest vi, but 'You say potato ...'
