I could and I prefer vi for a lot of things. In fact I used to to
convert all the impassable `sea' items under the piers to `sea1'
(passable ocean).

Then crossedit is too important to abadon. And loading, making a
different change, and saving, could have `unspecified' effects to the
dragon exit codes.    

Anyway I removed the `randomness' by specifying a specific `position'
destination in the map.  (middle lower character cell of dragon).
Any more will need to wait for some u-beaut editing feature in the new
editor being  developed.

Ships are also in a simular `boat' (ha ha :-). I could only put
as close to gether as I have by making the `sails' imposible to walk on,
again using the `impassable sea' so prevent adventurers just walking
directly from ship to ship, in a couple of specific places. IE to allow
future mappers to implement ``transport charges'' or some sort or
another.
