vi was user

more than one variable would get stored per byte, when a non-volatile
drive was 1/4 meg. Oh, and of coarse look at the users it was being
friendly to.
Hey, I resemble that remark. :) The editor I use on the color computer
has
had several names over the years, vi being the first one. Then somebody
made a window device called vi, and I had to rename it vim. Vim it isn't,
but it still works fine. And I still use vim on these linux boxes about
half the time, but gedit is gradually taking over for writing gcode to run
a milling machine or lathe.
The colour coding is nice.
