- elvis keeps a copy of the file in /usr/tmp incase a major disaster
- happens. If you quit vi abnormally [ie: reset, shutdown, etc.] it won't
- remove this file and when you try to edit it again, it will say "file is
- busy" To fix this, the easiest way is just to rm /usr/tmp/* .. if
- you've got other things running tho, go into /usr/tmp and delete the
- "elvt*" files [ELVis Temp]
