    I went back to my main antiX 23.2 system and started up “old vi”:
    I am writing with the old, original vi text editor today. Edited this line using h to move left, l to move right, i to insert – change from point to the end of the line. This is the “gritter” modification, Version 4.0. All it changes from the early vi is corrections allowing the use of arrow keys without adding line noise characters. The additional versions are to account for builds on newer OS implementations.
