I have been looking for a "vi"-like editor to use under VMS, but something
else that would work almost as well, would be an edt initialization file 
that emulates vi... Surely somebody must have done this, and would be willing
to post it...  I would do it myself, but we don't have our VMS docs, yet...
I have some of it done... assigning things like hjkl (char left, down, up, 
right) to ctrl-hjkl under edt... the basics would encompass:

		hjkl, udfb, select, cut, paste, find, findnext,
		gold, and keypad enter, and perhaps ctrl-x for del line...

Is anybody inspired?  thanks,
