UTS allows you to run vi on a 3270, but I would recommend it only
for the masochistically inclined. 3270 users run ned, an editor
designed for 3270 use. It resembles xedit and ISPF/PDF but mostly
because all three were constrained by the 3270. I use both ned and
vi for my editing and find that for some kinds of tasks, I prefer
one and for different tasks I prefer the other. Both are usable.
