I too am a vi fan.  I used to have the mks toolkit running on my pc
but since I bought my 386 I haven't used it.  (I'm checking out another
shell).  However, I miss vi too much so I wanted to run it on top of this
other shell (4DOS by the way).  It will run by it gives me file errors.
Can't remember the exact error message.  Is this what you're referin
to in the next line:

I don't recall having this problem!!  I'c categorize this as a major
annoyance.

Here's another question.  I'd like to integrate vi into the MS QuickC
environment.  Do you know if this is possible?  Ever tried it?
