I don't get any error or warning messages now but 'vi' still doesn't
always get me the same thing:

$ vi --version | head -5
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Dec 20 2023 06:57:02)
Included patches: 1-2155

Huge version without GUI.  Features included (+) or not (-):

$ /bin/sh

$ vi --version | head -5
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Dec 20 2023 06:53:22)
Included patches: 1-2155

Tiny version without GUI.  Features included (+) or not (-):



Would you please let me know how to make an /etc/alternatives for vi/vim?
I want 'vi' to always invoke 'vim' and everything I tried with
alternatives failed :(

Thanks
Lee
