	If if runs anything like vi on Unix I would hardly call it
	a good editor, ubiquitous maybe. The user interface stinks
	in comparsion the Rand editor on Unix, SPF on MVS or XEDIT
	on VM, just to name a few I'm familar with. On a feature
	basis it is inferior to both Rand and XEDIT and SPF could
	give it a good run even on features.
