[net.general] problems with vi editor and tvi950 terminals

ips@hlexa.UUCP (08/31/83)

We have experienced the following problems when using 'vi'
on tvi950 terminals:
 
 1) scrolling problems - 
    using Control-d and Control-u causes lines to be overwritten.
    using returns or '-' scroll also causes this problem at page
      boundaries.


    after encountering this problem, the 'w' command does not
    work correctly.
 
 
 2) the control-V command does not work (to insert control characters).
 
 
Does anyone have any suggestions for changes to the TERMCAP
file (or any other useful advice) ?
 
Please mail responses.
