Funny, this Emacs doesn't seem to have lisp. In fact, it's got a sort
of forth-like language. Oh, this one over here doesn't even have that
much. Hmmmm... are we comparing vi to GNU Emacs only, or to all
Emacsen? I dare say that GNU Emacs might make a believer out of me...
if only I could run it on this poor old 80286.
