What terminal settings should I use for vi ?
When I work on a remote machine and use vi the text file
I edit is not correctly displayed. The lines start at the
end of my terminal, basides that, the first line that is
shown is line 25 or so.
Anybody have any idea how to fix this ?

C shell (csh, tcsh, etc)
setenv TERM=vt100
I usually jump to bourne whenever I need to do anything out of the ordinary.
This should work for just about all platforms, since they all understand
vt100. With HP, you might want "hpterm" in place of vt100.

My guess, your remote host doesn't know the dtterm settings.Quote:>dtterm

1. vi config, terminal setting or Xceed configuration issue ?
Hi there,
I seem to be having a terminal setting problem rather than a vi
configuration problem:
When I try to enter numbers from the numeric section of the keyboard in the
vi editor some letter appears and the line shifts up. When I do this on
the command prompt it behaves normally. I guess vi resets the terminal
settings in some mode so my keyboard settings do not correspond what is set
up in exceed anymore.
Everything behaves normally when I access Unix without exceed using telnet
from the NT prompt.
Anybody an explanation ?
Note: We access Unix thru the Hummingbird Xceed X terminal software on an
NT windows PC.
