Good Day!

I am fairly new in the freeBSD arena and would like to raise this 
simple question...

How can I prevent system messages from scrolling while busy 
editing a file in vi ??  It is nearly impossible doing it as you can 
imagine.

I have tried using the :set nomsg command, but no luck.

Thanks!
