I'm using ver 2.3d of the toolkit.  Vi (and other programs) seem to want the
toolkit's shell under them.  My only *real* complaints are

1.	You have to be in the directory of the file you want to edit (eg,
	if you are in c:\subdir, and you type 'vi \autoexec.bat', you get
	some sort of error (I don't recall what it is  right now).

	This is somewhere between a minor and a major annoyance.

2.	It doesn't speak through the nnansi driver I'm using.  

	I don't really know how much of an annoyance this is yet.

3.	It's in black and white.  While this isn't a real show stopper,
	it's rather hard on the eyes that have been staring at a color
	screen for a while.
