disabling escape

[berman]

does anyone else manage to hit escape after
writing a reply here, especially to the unix board,
because well you are in unix mode.

you know since in vi to save a file you hit
esc-ZZ ...

and then everything that you have typed suddenly
disappears and you have to type it again ?

is there anyway to make esc not delete this text
area.

i suppose this is more of a rant than a question
thanks for listening ...

Saving in vi should be SHIFT-ZZ, while ESC changes to command-mode and there you can save by :w or :x.
The Option ESC-ZZ is new to me although I'm using vi on a daily routine...
