A week ago I sent out diffs for minimal changes to the X11R4 text widget to give
it vi-like functionality for those who liked that type of an editor.

I now have a more extensively modifed text widget that contains all the
functionality of the original Athena Text Widget, along with rather extensive
additions to provide a vi-mode that the user can select through resources.
This vi-mode provides a large percentage of standard vi functions, including
undo and dot.

Is there any interest in such a widget?  If anyone want the source, or diffs 
for the changes I made, please let me know.
