If you are still mystified, "ctrl+z" stops a process running on a
terminal, so it's likely that your vi is still running idle. Type 'fg'
on the same terminal to bring it back. For more details on job

Which you can change by setting your EDITOR environment variable.

For example, if your shell is bash,

	export EDITOR="emacs -nw"

will do it.
