I just tried out the posting of STEVIE, and naturally, the first thing I
wanted to try is to see how slow insert mode is, since the author mentions
the slowness in the document. So I held down on a key as if I was entering
a line of *'s for a block comment. Stevie got about halfway across the
line and bombed. I had to reboot. I tried this three times. Twice it
killed the O/S, and once it subtly corrupted the system so that when I
tried to copy a file after exiting, the system told me there was "not enough
memory to run your application".
Anyway, enough said. Don't use autorepeat in STEVIE. The other things I
tried seemed to work OK.
By the way, there are two other pseudo-vi's around, VIX and LEVEE. Each has
its own limitations. Between the three programs, you can do anything you
can in vi :-)
