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.

Doc bug. Fixed for 0.7.3.

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
