You can also tell nvi to jump to the last line with
 
# vi +'$' file
 
or
 
# vi -c'$' file
 
So you can just ignore the %N.

Sorry for the noise.

 
I love this noise and am glad to meet a vi user online.  Have you
noticed that its -c option is documented as if accepting the command
after a space: -c <cmd> ? This form does not work for me, and I
have to use it without the inervening space: -c<cmd> . Is it an
error in the man page, or I am missing someting?

It works here with both the system nvi (OpenBSD) and the nvi from ports.
The former is version 1.79 and the ports nvi is 2.2.1.

For example:

# vi -c '/^$/' file

starts on the first blank line of the file,

# vi -c '/^$/++' file

starts two lines after the first blank line of the file and so on.

Seems like your FreeBSD has its own version.
