Christ, can someone please explain to me what is so wrong with using the 
arrow keys in vi? Fine if you're running *nix on keyboards or terminals 
without arrow keys, but if you're using vi on a PC with an AT keyboard 
manufactured any time after about 1983 I don't see the point in NOT using 
arrow keys...?
