It is a surprise that it works at all. I tried keeping a DOS version
alive for quite a while, but it kept running out of memory quickly.
Eventually I gave up (and then could add more features to the tiny

What messages do you see when you do ":w file"?
What is the :version output, what version do you use exactly?
