Real Vi session for editing a command

Real Vi session for editing a command

[zzapper]

Hi
in one of my previous lives, I had a shell (MKS?) where when editing a 
command (in vi mode) line I could hit ESC and then I would enter a real Vi 
window, when I saved and quit the command would be executed. Any ideas if 
possible with zsh/bash?

Of course the zsh can do this. :-)

    autoload      edit-command-line
    zle -N        edit-command-line
    bindkey '\ee' edit-command-line
