I have heard that brief and wordstar are far superior to "vi".  After all,
vi is not even DOS compatible.  I suggest that do the following:

	cp /bin/vi /bin/wrdstr

Then open the file "vi.doc" (or what ever your online editor help file is)
and run the following vi command ":%s/vi/wrdstr/g".  Finally, mail a message
to everyone telling them that the new and improved wrdstr editor has been
installed on the system.

This should fix any complaints about vi ;-).  Then go back to doing
something productive with your limited time (or go out for doughnuts).
