I have had this problem here for some time, searched for the cause today and cannot find it. On two -current machines here, when using an xterm and telnet to the other machine, when using the arrow-keys to move around the screen, vi will switch to the insert mode and deposit characters into the editor. For example if I hit the down-arrow key a few times, after about 3 or 4 arrow-down, it will begin to put 'B' into the editor. Same for the other arrow keys, 'A' for up-arrow etc. On a third machine running 2.2-current from 9-15 I can telnet to it from either of the other machines and it will not do this. I can't find a difference in the termcap files, what can be causing this ? regards kim -- kimc@w8hd.org
