I'm asking this on the net as I'm not a lisp hacker.  How do I make vip
mode in GNU Emacs (18.41) come up in vi-mode rather than emacs-mode?

My .emacs file has

	(load "vip")
	(change-mode 'vi-mode)

but it still comes up in emacs mode.  I tried inserting

	(setq current-mode 'emacs-mode)

or

	(setq current-mode 'vi-mode)

before the call to change-mode, but that didn't make any difference.
Finally, I tried modifying vip.el to change

	(set-default current-mode 'emacs-mode)

to

	(set-default current-mode 'vi-mode)

but that seems to break vip; i.e., it comes up in emacs mode, and when I
hit ^Z to switch, the mode line doesn't change and the buffer acts like it's
still in emacs mode.

Thanks,
Mike Khaw
