>Description:
Even though the vi man page mentions:
       $HOME/.nexrc
              1st choice for user's home directory startup file.

       $HOME/.exrc
              2nd choice for user's home directory startup file.

       .nexrc 1st choice for local directory startup file.

       .exrc  2nd choice for local directory startup file.

vi never tries to read anything other than /etc/vi.exrc
>How-To-Repeat:
set something like
set ts=4
in ~/.exrc

vi something
<tab>
