Corrinna,
	Sorry about that. I regretted the suggestion as soon as I suggested
it as it should be easy enough to build your own vim if you require more
advanced features, and you're already doing plenty without creating another
package. I think I'd change my vote to no on second thoughts since
installing perl just to use vi is a little over the top.
