no, most of that functionality is missing from ae's crappy vi mode. that
is why it would be good if there were room for elvis-tiny to fit on the
boot disks, and that is why i object to the idea of wasting space on the
rescue floppy on 'ee' when it is basically the same as 'ae'. if there is
any extra space on the boot floppy then it should not be squandered on
ee, it should be used for something useful - a decent vi, preferably.

yes, i have argued that ae's vi emulation is better than nothing.
