Forking via ':!vi' file is nice, but if you can stop the process
with ^Z and start another it's a lot faster (doesn't need a new
shell).  However, along the lines of the question, vi keeps track
of the last file edited, and the location in the file.  At any
time (current file unmodified, of course) you can type ':e #' and
go edit the previous file some more.
