[lug] command line editing in vi

[Hugh Brown]

Thank you that got the ex command line history back, any ideas on getting
Ctrl-V to do its magic.

The enhanced version, however, is required to use the arrow keys for command history editing.  By default, I only had vim-common (and the required vim-minimal) installed.  After adding vim-enhanced, I was able to invoke 'vim' and get the full-blown version of vim.  At that point, you may decide to 'ln -s vim vi'
