Chaps,

This is for you principally, but anyone who's interested read on... Here is
a snippet from an info page from the Emacs manual, this of course
demonstrates the power of the Emacs environment:


Viper
*****

   We believe that one or more of the following statements are adequate
descriptions:

     Viper Is a Package for Emacs Rebels;
     it is a VI Plan for Emacs Rescue
     and/or a venomous VI PERil.

   Technically speaking, Viper is a Vi emulation package for Emacs.  It
implements all Vi and Ex commands, occasionally improving on them and
adding many new features.  It gives the user the best of both worlds: Vi
keystrokes for editing combined with the power of the Emacs environment.
