I am an emacs user and only use vi when I have no other choice, like
editing my nethackrc file on nethack.alt.org, so I am not up on all
its abilities.  One of the things in emacs that makes ascii easier is
its picture-mode which is basically like filling a file with a few
thousand ' ' spaces and adding typeover like if the insert key did
anything on a unix system.   Does vi have such a mode?
