[vile] bug/change with editing multiple files

[hymie]

Greetings.   I just found an issue with vile 9.8n and vile 9.8q .
I still have an old copy of 9.8 , and the problem isn't there.

Create a directory, and put in ten files named a b c ... j .

vi *

(You are now editing file a)

Use :n a few times, and you will cycle through all of the files, until you
get to file j , and then you will get the "No more files to edit" message.

Now, exit and

vi *

(You are now editing file a)

Use :n to edit file b, then type

:e e

(to edit file e)

Now use :n a few times, and you will again cycle through files c, d, e, f,
all the way to j.

One more time, quit and

vi *

(You are editing file a)

Immediately use

:e e

to edit file e, and then use :n.  You will go to files f, g, h, i, and j.
In this instance, where the first thing you do is :e , you lose :n access
to the files you skipped over.

This may be the kind of thing only I do.  I manage a sports web site,
and I have a bunch of files, one for each team.  I edit the first file,
then I edit the opponent of that first file, since they have the same
results.  Then I would normally use :n to edit the second file.  But
now I can't. :(
