Anyone who is used to the real vi and trying to use vi emulation in GNU emacs should be sure to install the version 4.0 of vip.el that was posted to comp.emacs and gnu.emacs.source in April. The previous versions did not do anything resembling vi when you hit ESC ESC, space, R, and a few other critical keys. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
