Vi has an interface to shell level: :!. This way you can use expr, bc, or dc to 
calculate something for vi – or use a GNU Emacs script for something less 
comprehensible…

A bit different is :!emacs -nw <RET> – now you are in GNU Emacs, in terminal, 
as the subject announces, and can forget that you were in vi before and now are 
not that limited. You can even files on some remote host! No plugin necessary.

If you don't find it in the index, look very carefully through the entire
