	I THOGoHT it was "!", but lookit:


pts/14 17:11 <tao> [5010] vi sent
pts/14 17:11 <tao> [5011] vi!
zsh: command not found: vi!
pts/14 17:12 <tao> [5012]

.......  this is vi == vim.  

	AHA:: found it.  it's [bang]<commant>


pts/14 17:17 <tao> [5016] vi sent
pts/14 17:17 <tao> [5017] !v    


	I'll tell ya, if vi disappeared , I'd end it all!
