Are you sure they're reversed? :q in vi doesn't write out the current
file, after all -- you have to do :wq for that. I was modeling the
behavior on Berkeley mail.

Hm. How did you manage to get a Python with tkinter configured out?
All the distributions I know about have it in thestock version.

False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. -- Cesare Beccaria, as quoted by Thomas Jefferson's Commonplace book
