Hi, I'd like to use a plain text editor. I don't want any surprises. I don't want it to think it understands language syntax. I don't want it to colorize things. I don't want it to do anything at all for me, unless I explicitly say it is okay for it to do so.
In short, I want vi. Except Linux distributions now alias vi to vim and all its wondrous wizardry. ``set compatible'' is insufficient. I still get automated commenting when the silly thing has decided that I must be editing a C file. Leave me alone, please. I want it all turned off. I have been unable to find a simple way to do that. Or even any way to do that, because I have not found any way at all to turn off the ``you must want this line prefixed with a double slash'' feature. Help! Suggestions, please? Thank you! - Bruce
