Come on - you can do it! Try Tom's rtbt, a linux system on a disc - I've
only used it for crisis management, but you might be able to do something
with it. Don't know how much space that and the minimal version of Vim
would take up. Nano, on the other hand is a quite capable and tiny
editor - 73k executable!
Might be worth a try.
