VI ( I )
VI (l)
A requested tag is searched for in the specified files,
sequentially. By default, files called tags are searched for
in the current directory and in /usr/lib (a master file for
the entire system).
term (default from environment $TERM)
The terminal type of the output device.
terse ( default: no terse)
Shorter error diagnostics are produced for the experienced
user.
ttytype=
Terminal type defined to system for visual mode. Can be
defined before entering visual editor by TERM=type.

before a ! command escape.
window (default: window=speed dependent)
The number of lines in a text window in the visual command.
The default is 8 at slow speeds (600 baud or less),
16 at medium speed (1200 baud), and the full screen
(minus one line) at higher speeds.
w300, w1200, w9600
These are not true options but set window only if the
speed is slow (300), medium (1200), or high (9600), respectively.
They are suitable for an EXINIT and make it easy
to change the 8/16/full screen rule.

Inhibit checks normally made before write commands,
allowing a write to any file which the system protection
mechanism will allow .

Left and right shifts on intelligent terminals don't make use of
insert and delete character operations in the terminal.
The wrapmargin option can be fooled since it looks at output
columns when blanks are typed. If a long word passes through
the margin and onto the next line without a break, then the line
