   Back when I first got into Linux I tried out vi and emacs.  I had exactly that   
   problem with emacs, except that I opened a second session and killed the emacs   
   process from there.   
   Then I bought a little vi command summary, courtesy of O'Reilly.  They had the   
   commands for various vi versions - mostly pretty much identical to each other.   
   With one big exception.   
   VILE - "vi like emacs".  Apparently that really exists, or existed.
