I don't really use vi to know what you are looking for. However, there
are ways to configure and show buffer endings and empty lines and
such. If you search this newsgroup's recent history, you can find the
information. You can also browse the customizations with M-x
customize. There are a lot of them to list here. I don't know of
anything comparable in vi, so you are on your own there.
