Hi,

It's not a card, but it's brief: vi(1) in
the v10 manual covers vi,
ex, and edit in three pages.
I went looking for it. The source is
https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V10/man/man1/vi.1
The TUHS wiki,
https://wiki.tuhs.org/doku.php?id=publications:manuals:research#tenth_editi…
links to a 10th Ed. PDF, but beware it isn't a scan of the manual.
Instead, as the blurb on scrolling down says, the man pages were
formatted with BSD's mandoc so not a lot of chance of the output
matching the original.
Page 389 of 992 is the start of vi(1). The .2C two-column output
split by a tab character hasn't been honoured which is why it starts to
look garbled by the second page.

A scan of an authentic 10th Ed. manual would be handy. If it already
exists, then the wiki would be better pointed at that.
