- Well, it seems that I have knack for marching to a different drummer and
- wanting to do things that others say can't be done, or that others can see
- no use for. I use my head and view the world through my own eyes, and just
- because the MAJORITY doesn't want to be able to do what I want to do, doesn't
- mean I have to accept a limitation that I *KNOW* does NOT exist.
-
- And this incident using TALK and vi as examples shows that there is most
- definitely a bug in the system, since the review buffer can't handle it for
- those who want to do what *I* want to do.
-
- And it also shows that NOT everyone wants all that CTRL/ESC garbage in their
- files, and that someone didn't even *think* about that possible condition.
-
- If it happens with other program parts, then it *must* be possible.
