I can't duplicate the OP's environment, but I wonder why he can't just do the normal: <escape> followed by ":q!" to exit vi.

I.e. to send the killall vi command from a CMS logon? -- While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must be eternally careful so that the calculated objective of communication does not become ensconced in obscurity.
