Did you mean "alias vi=" in the above?

Or were you playing a joke on Michael?

Good defense of vim, BTW in the other
thread, BTW.  Haven't used nvi since I found
vim didn't put me into a wierd mode that I
used to get stuck in all the time with nvi.
Something like escape up-arrow in insert
mode but not something I've ever been
able to replicate on purpose.

Best Regards.
