The above of course only applies to major modes. If you are using one
of the vi-minor modes the 'correct' way to set this up is to use the
mode hooks. e.g. if you want to use vi to edit c-files. Just add this
line:

        (setq c-mode-hook 'vip-mode)

Similar hooks apply to most modes. If text mode is your default mode
you can get vip by default by using:

        (setq text-mode-hook 'vip-mode)

If you already have some program in one hook and have a line like this
in your .emacs file (again from my .emacs file) it is slightly more
complicated.

        (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

Try something like this:

        (setq text-mode-hook '(lambda () (turn-on-auto-fill) (vip-mode)))

Does that help ?
