	There has never been any problem at Santa Cruz Computer teaching
the secretaries vi.    I have taugh at least 50 people how to use vi,
including several classes of "computer literacy for humanities majors"
at UCSC.  Sure it is tough for a humanities major for the first few minutes,
but it is hardely insurmountable.
