I tried out the "DOS vi" posted in comp.binaries.ibm.pc, and was
disappointed to found that I can't move the cursor around using
the i, j, k, and m keys, and therefore must move my hand off the
main keyboard to the numeric keypad to use the arrow keys.

Since one of the reasons I like vi is because I can keep my hands
on the main keyboard through out the editing session, I didn't
find this vi too easy to use.
