John: Thank you so much!!

I downloaded vim51d32.zip [notice the d]--curiously the d file also
includes the executables.
And I did not have to compile!! I believe this is the latest version.
This version (there are hundreds) is for DOS 32-bit protected mode.

It works just fine with BASH--seems bullet-proof.

I don't want to knock Elvis (looks like a very good vi), but I think this
one is for me.
If you have not visited the site in a while, it is really rich. You might
want to look in.

I really appreciate your quick response.
