The default "vi" installed on most Unix systems sucks. You can't use the arrow keys in insert mode, you can't set the editor to expand tabs, and you can't do a bunch of other common things. But, alas, we don't always have the option of installing a real editor like vim or elvis, so here's a sample .exrc file to make editing in vi at least bearable.

Note that there are a number of vi macros and other documents on ftp.uu.net. A description of all these files can be found here.

To use this file, right-click here and select "save file as". Save the file as ".exrc". Note that cut-and-paste WILL NOT work with these macros, as they have control characters in them.
