I have had this problem hanging around since I installed XFree86...

When using vi in an xterm window, the cursor does not respond to the
cursor keys (I have to use h i j k spc ret).  They work fine on the console
and tcsh responds to them even in the xterm.  Anybody got a clue why this is?

BTW, I'm at pk0.2.2, using the standard console driver.

Mark.

library, n., a place with a large number of people, a slightly larger number
  of books, and a very small number of photocopiers, of which at any given
                   time at least 50% will be out of order.
