Let's not blame ALL the problems on NNANSI.SYS.  As the most recent poster
of Stevie (v.3.69a), I'd like to apologize for what is in fact a Stevie
bug.  I take only minor solace in the fact that Elvis shares it (misery
loves company  :-().  Real "vi" does not have this bug.  If I ever get
around to it, I'll fix it in Stevie.

If you want to verify that it's Stevie and not NNANSI, try Stevie on
UNIX (it's portable); you'll still see the bug, even through termcap.

Cheers!
