Note on the rest of this message, in several places below Alex speaks "the fifth" where I typed a Vee character.
I was thinking about this, and realized that the standard editor functionality of MacOS will simulate Emacs keystrokes. What this means is that control-V moves down a page, and meta-V as defined in standard emacs moves up a page. I was able to get the control-V to work I believe, but either I am forgetting my emacs commands after several years of non-use or something else is going on. Does anybody remember where the definition file for this is? This is code that MacOs inherited from the NeXT systems. I expect that there is a "vi mode still around somewhere and for those of that persuasion wouldn't it be nice to have VI commands in textedit and mail composition?
