Come on, Warp, I'm sure you know by now vi is a modal editor and its 
primary mode is command-mode rather than edit.  You have the whole 
alphabetic keys binded to commands and that's what makes it so 
effortless to edit text by typing sequences of such commands rather than 
first getting a virtuoso degree in piano playing to handle emacs complex 
key-chords...

Yeah, Professor Foo probably goes like:  "Now type vi file and here are 
some basic commands for you.  Have fun!"  Surely wasn't a vi class and 
it just got in the way of the tasks.  You surely had no time to learn it 
while you were fighting against it to get your assignments done...

And I remember you're the guy who backed down from my text-copying 
challenge in this thread. ;)
