When using heirloom vi originally written by Bill Joy (:version gives me "Version 4.0 (gritter) 12/25/06"), I am able to store text into registers 1-9 and subsequently use the :edit or :next commands to change files and paste the contents of those numbered registers, contrary to what Vim documentation states.

Hm, perhaps this was a bug in one of the original vis. I checked Posix documentation for buffers and it does not mention such a restriction, so should be fine.
