[comp.sys.sgi] More suprises with IRIX 3.2

1. The page down and page up keys don't work in vi anymore.  These were far
more convenient than ctrl-b and ctrl-f.

2. On the good side, jot is a nice improvement.

If you look at the wsh man page, it will point you to the bindkey man page,
which documents the default key bindings that wsh uses.  page-up and page-down
are now bound to the scroll-bar page-up and page-down functions.  home and
end are similarly found. To undo a default binding, reverting the key to
sending data, do this:

		bindkey -l page-up
		bindkey -l page-down

Thanks.

Page Up and Page Down now work in a wsh window to scroll the window.  You
can use these keys within vi with the command "bindkey"

function
     key binding facilities.

     key is the name of a key on the keyboard; type bindkey without
arguments
     to obtain a list of valid keys.  The following are valid bindkey keys:

     f1   f2   f3   f4   f5   f6
     f7   f8   f9   f10  f11  f12
