You're using an old version of elvis.  I used to have that problem, but
the one I'm using now (version 1.4) has that bug fixed and has more
features like macros, and you can also use the cursor keys to move
around while in insert mode (ie, you don't have to press ESC any more
to cursor around the file!)  Go get the new  sources from plains.nodak.edu
in the file pub/Minix/all.contrib/elvis-1.4.tar.Z.  If you can't, mail
me and I'll send you the sources.  BTW, I'm running it on Minix-386.
The Makefile.mix sez it should compile under PC Minix with the 64K limit.
(It compiles under Coherent, so it should work on Minix-PC.)
