No matter how you cut it, the vi documentation is horrendous document for
learning vi.  It isn't that it is so much worse than the rest of the Unix
documentation (which is pretty poor in general), but is a very important
program and deserves better.

Since we are running Eunice over VMS here, users have the option of using
EDT.  Too many people do.  ("But vi is so confusing...")

If anybody has a pointer to a good book or article on vi, I'm all ears.
