:You must be running TPC UNIX or you wouldn't have to ask. The definitive
:reference manuals are "An Introduction to Display Editing with VI",
:"EX Reference Manual", "EDIT: A Tutorial", "Tutorial Introduction to ED",
:and "Advanced Editing on UNIX". They are distributed with every BSD based
:system I know of and are numbered USD:{15,16,14,12,13} in 4.3 BSD.

Mr. Cottrell is suggesting that Berkeley UNIX comes with good vi
documentation (which it does), and that System V doesn't (which it
doesn't.)  However, AT&T does make a variety of UNIX documentation
available besides the manuals, including some vi tutorials paced so a
non-technical person can understand them.  Call the 1-800-828-UNIX
folks and try to get a documentation catalog from them, or explain what
you're looking for and they should be able to tell you how to order it.
