I don't know if that is the point of vim verses vi.  You've always been 
able to have multiple files open with vi. You simply switch between the 
files with the :e,:n,:N commands.  Of course with the vim -ON, you get 
multiple windows, one for each N, but I find that too crowded. Just open 
each one in a separate term.
