+It is expected that you will run vnelvis w/in a vnterm.  Because of the way
+vi utilizes various key strokes, it may be better to turn off vnterm's VIQR
+processing and allow vnelvis to handle the VIQR input itself.  You do this
+by "set vnkeys".
+Because "dd" --> "-d" in VIQR, "qq" has been added as a means of
+deleting a line.  Otherwise vnelvis behaives as expected.
