Why is it, in VI if I try to save a file without a name it doesn't prompt
me for a name? Instead it kicks me back to vi. Or if I try to quit without
saving. Why doesn't it ask me "Save y/n." There is no reason VI couldn't

Why don't Unix "tools" have a convention about help and exit keys AT THE

Why is it that if I want to WordProcess in VI I have to remember to hit return at the end of the line otherwise bizarre things happen. Why not just wrap, beep, or slide over (i.e. let the line go long).
Is there a wordwrap mode in VI? And if so, why doesn't it kick in when I
