Uhh, vi is and copyrighted by AT&T and I don't think it is maintained
anymore.  You don't have it.  Now which vi *clone* do you have
installed?  nvi? elvis? vim?  I like vim the best -- it has a lot of
really useful features and is very stable, not to mention extremely
cross-platform.  Try 'antiword' though -- it is really cool at
rendering Word docs as plain text.

HTH,
