What does the vi set option 'novice' do?  My vi comes up nonovice.
You can not set novice as you get "vice: No such option - 'set all'
gives all option values".  So I used my binary editor superzap
to change novice to nevice,  but after setting nevice I couldn't
detect any changes.  Anyone know what it's supposed to do?
