In my earlier posting, I mentioned that MKS vi has an ex mode.  I just
realized that's not what you *really* want, though.  You want a small
vi-like editor that does not need ANSI.SYS or any other screen driver.
Again the answer is MKS vi; it writes directly to the screen and does not
need any driver.
