The unix user who stopped by here to look at bl3 tried to use pico, not 
vi.  The people who use my bbs for mail almost all use pine with pico.  
People who have been using BL2 might also expect pico to work.

Probably some of them also know how to use vi.  Maybe you could have 
'edit' point to plain e3 and pico point to e3pi?  Make everyone happy that 
way, I hope.  For a few more byte,s you could have a 'vi' pointing to 
e3vi.

My DOS computers don't have edit.  I use the DR-DOS editor, which I think 
is named editor (we have renamed it dredit).
