Eh?  I use Elvis 1.4, and it is an excellent clone of VI - it even has
more features (such as a ":prev" to complement ":n"), and lets you map
ALT-key combinations!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have trouble, it may be a config. thing.  One thing I noticed
is that VI assumes you are in VT52 wrap mode (which was true on the old
TOSes, but was changed for some reason).  A simple fix is to change to
wrap mode at start-up.
