It works... it's just set to be some odd version of vi:

% ls -l /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Jan 31 02:20 /usr/bin/vi ->
/etc/alternatives/vi

It color codes everything and has some strange behaviors.  For instance
the middle-mouse-paste actually copies the last thing you cut with
dw/dd/x.  (For instance, I used dw to delete the speaker's name.  Then I
highlighted the new speaker in my email and used middle-mouse-button to
paste it in.  What it pastes is the old speaker's name.  Very
irritating.)  After fighting with the damned thing, I finally just scp'd
the file to my box, edited and scp'd it back.

My suspisions say it was Mr. Merlin!
