mode lines in vi - (nf)

[lee at west44.UUCP]

Using a shell script to reconfigure vi as  you  call  it  doesn't
help  when you edit a new file from inside vi. Having some way of
setting different options on editing a new ``type'' of file is  a
far  better method. H*lls bells I had a hacked up 'ed' which used
to do that! If we had more than 30 free bytes of code space in vi
I'd hack it in myself! (PDP-11/44 in case you're wondering.)
