I have recently put together a termcap entry for the Amiga, This enty is working fine
except for when I go into vi the cursor keys do not work, I have to use those horrible
vi keys - hjkl yuck!!!!

So if there is anybody out there who is using an amiga as there terminal and has everything
working on it (particulary insert in vi (and the cursor keys)) could you please send me a
copy of the relevent parts of your systems termcap file. I would also be interested in hearing
from any one who knows of a pd terminal program on which they are experiencing no problems
with. I'm using NComm and I'm not sure of the emulation on it, I've also used JrComm and
it says it has perfect vt100 emulation, but the insert in vi just dosn't work!! (In general the
insert dosn't work at all)

I'm using Ultrix4.3

AdvaTHANKSnce.
