You could try one of the vi clones, e.g. elvis (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/elvis-dl for docs and downloads), vim, vile or nvi. They're all similar to vi and have extra features, like allowing impossibly log line lengths, binary file editing, multiple undo, enhanced searching, multiple windows etc. The only disadvantage is that they all differ from standard vi and standard vi is the one you find everywhere!
cheers
