Jerry, You and I are having similar experiences right now. In my case, I decided that with my move from win98 to win Xp, I should finally give up my beloved "vi" for dos. Last week, I started working with vim for Windows. Vim stands for vi improved. It is completely backward compatible with vi, but has a lot of handy Windows type features, if you choose to enable them. On first install, vim does not work well with Jaws, but some pretty simple customizations and Jaws tweaks have made it work very well. If you, or any others on this list are wishing to use vim under Windows, I can send you the scripts and configs I have so far. At present, my customizations are basic, but work.
