[This just didn't feel right with the WP flames in .applications.]

Call me stupid, call me a masochist, but I'm searching for a good vi
implementation under native AmigaDOS. 

I've found Avi on FF162 and Stevie v3.7a from FF256.  Neither are close
to real vi.

I'm specifically looking for key mapping, the wrapmargin command, speed,
and the killer: it has to run in the console window.  No new windows.

It would be nice if arbitrary window resizing, the function keys, the
mouse, and other fonts were supported.  In other words, I'm looking for
full vi with a few Amiga extensions.

Any pointers will me much appreciated.  Please email and I will
summarize.

Thanks,
