I have trouble getting vi to work properly under rlogin. I am running SR10.1 on a DN40000 node rlogin into a 10k node. The problem is that vi will display the file but does not allow you to move the cursor around, the cursor is at the bottom of the screen. I check the environment variables and everything seems to be ok, even stty tell me that it is at a correct speed. What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance. ---- Patrick Tang Guan Yaw, Phone : +61 62 68 8820 Dept. of Mathematics, EMAIL-ARPA/CSNET : gyp@ccadfa.cc.adfa.oz.au ADFA, Canberra, 2600.

I've had simular problems with vi and emacs while using rlogin. These basic problems can be solved by invoking the vt100 emulator before doing an rlogin. Type 'vt100' to invoke the emulator. Unfortunately, sometimes upon exiting the editor (emacs in my case) the rlogin window will be dead (a problem that has been mentioned in past postings). I don't know if this will happen with vi or not. Hope this helps you out. --Van Henkle Thomson CSF, Inc./PRO Palo Alto, Ca van%tcipro.uucp@unix.sri.com
