Um, how about multi-file capability, mouse support, an ARexx interface, and
extended (ex) commands?  These, and more, are part of my vi emulator for Uedit.
I'm currently working on version 2, and hope to go into beta test in a few
weeks.  (Yes, I know version 1.3 was a long time ago--patience...)

	RE VI on the Amy

	Actually, I'd like to see one that took up LESS ram than UEdit.
Stevie used more, so I gave up on it and switched to using UEdit for 
everything.

Along this line, did Manx improve "z" with the 5.0 version ? I am still using
the version that came with 3.4 and it works but..... it is not to robust.

As a related note. Manx, is there an upgrade path from 3.4 to 5.0 or do I just
need to buy it again?
