AE continues to seem terribly buggy. The keystrokes inexplicably seem
different every time I use it. Sometimes F10 means save, other times
its ^W. Often, the arrow keys are non-functional. It is very rare to
get it to do both a backspace and delete operation.

That should read 'Vi and emacs users should be able to use any editor.'

I can't get my wife to try anything but vi, though.

what do you want on the rescue disk ?
- your favorite editor ?
that's not possible, we cannot include every editor
- only __your__ favorite editor ?
hey, that's unfair. and if it's emacs : too big.

Just tried it. It's good enough for rescue disk use, but so is ae. And
joe is way too big. Anything that fits is ok on the rescue disk, as long
as the user knows it's there.
