You could try Elvis if you're looking for a VI clone.  It seems to be
pretty complete.  The only problem I've had with it is that it ignores
any \etc\termcap file you might have and requires you to set up your
TERM environment variable to vt52.

Why not make GNU Emacs the editor of choice on all systems?  It even
has a 'vi' simulation available for it.  Of course, more than 1
Megabyte is recommended (if not required) for the ST.

Yes, that's been done.  You can ftp it from cs.uni-sb.de
(134.96.7.254).  Also, if it's not on the atari.archive, I could post
it there.
