  | Where can I find documentation regarding nvi

"man vi" on any NetBSD I suspect.

  | and how it differs from elvis or vim?

Sorry, no idea on that one.   I don't know if anyone has produced
a comparison.  nvi is pretty faithful to the original vi though, with
just a few additions.

  | I can't get to NetBSD partition now,

That makes it difficult.   I will send you the man page under seperate cover.

  | afraid I might try something I'm accustomed to in elvis and find it
  | ain't there in nvi.

Quite possible.   I've never used elvis, so I can't comment on that one.
