I think your "path" variable is incorrect. Type 'set' and you should
see something like this (assuming you're in the C shell):-

...
path    (/home/johnny/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin)
...

Yours may look slightly different, but it should certainly have /bin
and /usr/bin at the minimum. Root's path should also have /sbin and
/usr/sbin.

To change it, edit .cshrc in your home directory, logout and log back
in again.

Yep, vi has been part of BSD since about 1980 and anyone who tried to
take it out of FreeBSD would be lynched. 8-)
