It seems silly to use GNU Emacs to emulate /usr/ucb/vi ...
kinda like writing a BASIC interpreter in Lisp ... an interesting
exercise for the interested student, but hardly practical.
After all, /usr/ucb/vi starts up in the same minute that you
invoke it ... (as opposed to the 30-45 seconds that emacs can
take on a busy system).
