I made a mistake in my posting about a termcap problem. I stated
that I was using a wyse58, but in actuality, it is a wyse85. I just
recieved a letter from a kind soul informing me of my error.
To restate the problem:
When using the editor vi:
1: When moving the cursor down or up, it will delete out to the
cursor position.
2: When moving over words using "w" or "b" it will delete the
word about 50% of the time.
The question:
Does anyone see anything wrong with this termcap entry,
or have any suggestions as to how to tweak it to fix the
problem, or does anyone have a good termcap out there that
they would send me?
This is the termcap entry I am using.

This is all taking place on a Vax 11/780, running 4.3BSD Unix (Mt.
Xinu, but that shouldn't matter).
Thanks for any help that you can give.

Check the terminal set-up; you'll probably find an entry that says that backspace is "destructive". This means that ^H makes the cursor not just move backwards but also erase the character. Change it to be "non-destructive", and all will be well. If you *don't* find such an entry, I can't help you... your termcap looks fine to me. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.

Another possibility is that *tab* is being "destructive". The fix for this: if it's a setup option as outlined in my message, fix it. Otherwise, it might be a problem with your Unix stty settings; try "stty tabs" followed by "tset -Q". (My, aren't terminals *fun*? ;-) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
