[wplug] .conf editing remotely

[Jonathan S. Billings]

I've come to rely on 'vi' for quick edits on remote unixen.  You can 
almost guarentee that there's going to be vi on any well-built unix, 
and it's command set is pretty much always the same.  I don't want to 
invoke a emacs vs. vi war, but for speed and portability, you can't 
beat vi for a simple editor.

Well... I suppose there's ex.... or ed.... or dd... whatever.
