That's pissed me off about elvis too.  That kindof shit is why I don't
use vim.  I've hated vim since I used it on a friend's machine and vim
would not only mess up my title bar of my xterm to be the file I was
editing (I know how to hit ^G thankyouverymuch), but upon exit would
make it say "Thanks for flying vim...".  It's a simple rule, don't
fuck with my title bars.  (The only exception is a program specifically
to change it to what I want to).

Now elvis is doing this stupid shit with rendering html.  Looks like nvi
is going to be what I use in Linux now.
