Some of you sented binaries, tips, and helpful comments on the same day as my post. I now have 3 vi clones to choose from, Stevie (majority's favorite), Elvis, and vi. I just have one question - Why are two of them called Stevie and Elvis (????) ? What's the relationship of the editors and their names? Paul P.S. - Since over 30 responses are on these 3 editors, I like to inform the Net that no further replies are necessary. Thanks a million, you're a good group.

STEVIE = ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts ^^ ^ ^^ ^ according to the first page of its documentation. It evidently was first written for the (gasp!)
