>Description:

When specifying multiple files on the command line when invoking the
vi editor, after using :n to edit the next file in the list, the :p
command to edit the previous file in the list does not work.  It is
documented in the man page for vi under ed commands.

>How-To-Repeat:

Invoke vi with multiple files on the command line.
Do :n to edit the next file.
Do :p to edit the previous file.  This step fails.

>Fix:

Unknown at this time.
