Paul,
I logged onto a 3270 console for a SLES 12 system and invoked the vi editor. I
was able to terminate the vi session by entering
¬c (shift 6 in the Bluezone 3270 emulator)
:q
I then tied the same test on a SLES 11 SP3 system and the same commands
terminated the vi session.
I noticed that after I entered '¬c' that vi issued lines
[24;1HType :quit<Enter> to exit Vim [24;63H [24;77H [24;63H1,1
All [1;1H
I then entered ':q' to terminate the vi session as I didn't make any changes to
the file.
I am running z/VM 6.3 but I doubt that the version of z/VM makes a difference.

<escape> followed by :q! doesn't work. I can't find anything that does.
Obviously vi is unique (in many ways ...) I don't think you can IPL CMS if
you've already booted z/Linux.
I may have found someone who has SSH access and am waiting for them to try and
kill my vi process.
But it would be useful to know how to get out of this via z/VM for future
occasions!
Regards and thanks
Paul

I just tried that, vi on Linux/Intel, and the ^z got echoed into the file I
was editing, displaying a ^Z. I can't duplicate the OP's environment, but I
wonder why he can't just do the normal: <escape> followed by ":q!" to exit vi.
Sorry for my ignorance of Linux on z under z/VM, but isn't there some way to
use SMSG to send commands to z/Linux? I.e. to send the killall vi command from
a CMS logon?
