Hey all, I want VI on my visor - anyone got it? I've been searching ever since I got my visor about a year and a half ago, but nothing...

Hi Mike,
I admit its a novel idea, but why? writing on a visor is hard enough. throw VI into the mix and I have a feeling the visor would die, or VI on the visor would die. Either way something would be dead when its all said and done. Don't get me wrong now. On my desktop and on my servers there's nothing like VI for coding or the quick ssh editing session. I just can't see that happening on a visor.
I dunno... I think vi on my palm would rock. Better than the note pad or memo pad, and while having Documents To Go is cool, I think having vi on their instead would be awesome.
I've been looking for something that will let me do programming on my palm (and a word processor is *not* optimal for this), but having vi (or emacs, really) would be really really useful (sometimes I can't justify hauling my laptop around and want to work on code when my wife isn't looking).
If someone does know of something like this (or a programmer's editor with syntax highlighting) for a palm, I'd love to hear it even if it is pretty OT. =)
good point Vincent. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. Only its got to be the latest release of Vi, and not one of the old version ported to the Visor or Palm. If I'm gonna use Vi its got to have all the cool features i've grown accustomed to with VI.
