While there's nothing wrong with VIM, there's also nothing wrong with
Elvis. I use Elvis (version 2.x) on top of bash all the time. What version
of Elvis are you using? If it's still 1.x, I suggest you go to:

and get the DOS executable package for the current Elvis beta (last I
noticed it was 2.1i). I use 2.1i on several platforms, daily, and find
it to be stable (for my uses, at least).

               But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: 
                         While we were still sinners, 
                              Christ died for us.
