That reminded me of the nicest star trek game I ever played, that was
written in TV, a TOPS-20 editor.  Then I remembered that TV itself was
written in TECO (as was TOPS-20 EMACS).  Try *that* in VI.  Actually, vi
does have its place - editing over hokey networks that put out ^S/^Q
sequences that can't be turned off.
