???  This has not been my experience with any release of the
Unix-PC software.  I suspect you've set your vi sessions up using
'autowrite' mode.  To find out, the next time you're in vi give
the command
	:set
and see what's listed.  Dollars to donuts you get autowrite.  There's
this places it could come from: your EXINIT environment variable,
a file named .exrc in your home directory, or a file named .exrc in
your local directory.
