[net.unix] Help needed on vi

HELP!

Does anyone out there have the TERMINFO file for the Teletype 5420
terminal?  I am trying to run vi on UNIX System V Release 2 on a VAX
11/780 and haven't gotten very far.  I keep getting error messages like

Visual requires scrolling.    or
Visual does not know enough about your terminal.

I have tried converting a System V termcap file to the new format but have
had only limited success.  I am trying to bujild my own TERMINFO file 
because our UNIX support has given up on this problem (Now that's support--
"I don't know; Let me know when you find something.").

Any and all quick help would be greatly appreciated.  I am tired of messing
with this and I'm ready to move on to my real work.

Thanks,


 

Scotty

The Teletype 5410 & 5420 terminfo entries are on pages TIPS-8 & 9 of the
UNIX System V System Release Description 2.0 DEC Processors.
