Re #46: that's just because you don't use rogue (or hack or nethack)

Re resp:47: I dunno. The Esc key is way up there in the corner.

Re #49: Sometimes I hit control-[ instead. I know that I often hit control-H
instead of backspace (but that's because Grex thinks it *is* my backspace, when
my backspace key actually sends control-?).

Vi is definitely hand and finger friendly. (You can change grex's
concept of what your backspace is, by the way...)

Yes, but if I'm direct-dialed or sshed in from a Windows SSH client it *is*
control-H. I've asked before if there's a way to tell when I'm logging in which
it is.

My favorite text-based editors are the ones that use WordStar
keystrokes, just because WordStar was the first wordprocessor I learned
to use.

MS-DOS Edit was the first word processor I learned to use, but it didn't have
many special keystrokes. After that I went to WordPerfect for DOS (4.1? 5.1?),
and then when we got a computer with Windows (3.1) I used Wordperfect for that,
which erased the old habits because it had all the functions switched around.

MS-DOS Edit sucks balls compared to PC-DOS's E editor. I like that editor!

vi is the first editor I've (had to) learn keystrokes for.
Or was that MicroEMACS for the Amiga? If it was, they didn't stick.

Being ignorant of other options, I have always used:
:!vi file2

I learned how to use EDIT at one point, too. When I later found out
about ed, EDIT's odd syntax made more sense.
