- You're probably using the vip.el that came with the distribution of GNU
- Emacs. VIP mode has been improved since the version that I got with 18.57.
- Here's the header from the version I use. The version I use lets me use
- all the vi key sequences that I know (which isn't saying much, but I missed
- the 's' and 'R' commands when using the standard vip.el). I expect you can
- find it in the Emacs Lisp Archive, although I didn't check that.
- Otherwise, ask archie. I seem to remember it being in a file called mvip
- (or mvip.tar.Z or whatever - just search for mvip) when I got it.
