[comp.sys.sun] modelines in vi

Are modelines implemented in the vi furnished with Sun workstations?  The
manual doesn't mention them, but then again no manual I've ever seen has
mentioned them.  If I do a ':set all' I see modeline in the list, and I
can set modeline without problems, but nothing happens.  If I set
modelines (note the plural) I get an error message.  I know they can be a
real security hole but at the same time they are useful little buggers.
Thanks.
