No it doesn't because it issues a fresh instance of vi per file.
Not very good when you create macros and want to apply to
a set of files. Also, vi lets you navigate throught the set of
files in any order ... not possible when separate instances.
Also, find *.c would be a little more appropriate wouldn't it?
But then why not just:
grep -l PATTERN *.c | while read f; do vi "$f"; done
This is a bash mailing list isn't it!
