I am trying to map some keys in vi on the Unix-PC and am having a problem that seems peculiar to this machine's version of vi. If I map a key to something containing a ctrl-M or carriage return, the ^M gets echoed but not interpreted. How can I tell vi to interpret the control characters? Eg: map N :w^M:n^M (where the ^M represents a ctrl-V followed by an M) maps the Shifted N to the sequence :w\n:n\n This works fine on various flavors of unix-vi, but on the Unix-PC, the characters appear on the vi command line & they just sit there waiting for me to press return. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Try ctrl-V followed by CR, perhaps even ctrl-V ctrl-V CR.
