I have a patch for this, as well as a couple of other patches that make elvis
look more like vi (at least, vi on Suns). I will post them tomorrow if at all
possible.
On a related note, has anyone but me experienced the problem of hitting 'dd'
and having elvis erase the line *above* the one the cursor is on? Undoing it
and redoing the 'dd' works. I haven't been able to discern any kind of
special conditions that it occurs under, and since it's not too frequent I
haven't gone a-hunting for it. Are any of you secretly hoarding a patch for
this? :-)
