One solution would be not to try to imitate vi, or at least give a warning. So either: $ vi You don't have installed an editor yet. To have basic file editing at least, use the `ae' program. $ emacs You don't have installed an editor yet. To have basic file editing at least, use the `ae' program. $ edit (ae starts) Or: $ vi You don't have installed an editor yet. I will start a simple editor that resembles vi keyboard layout, but it has only a limited set of features. [PRESS KEY] (ae-vi starts up). And, by all means, put ED on the base disks.
