VI annoyance



If you actually type "vim filename" does it behave differently? I seem
to recall that it did on some platform I worked on. On whatever that
particular OS was, if you typed "vi filename" it behaved like the
original "vi", but if you typed "vim filename" it had all of the
features of a recent vim version. Both commands ran the same vim binary,
but somehow using 'vi' changed the behavior.
