[comp.windows.x] vi problem with X windows on ISC X11R3

I've being trying to use vi from within xterm, and a random error occurs. When
moving the cursor from within the command mode, vi sometimes puts itself into
insert mode, opens a blank line and inserts one of the letters A, B or C into
the blank line!

I assure you that this is NOT finger trouble! :-) 
By the way, is it possible to configure vi?

On a secondary note, I've seen some references to xedit. Is this better than
vi? Is it easily available?
