Window manager: unknown
What were you trying to do?
Edit a file with /bin/vi
What's wrong:
When you exit, the cursor is often placed too high, so
the shell prompt is in the middle of the text on the
terminal.
What should have happened:
It should have placed the cursor where it was when vi
was launched. The nvi in the sipb locker, which is
the also version 1.79, does not have this problem.
I do not know conclusively that this is a vi problem---
it may be a terminal bug that vi aggravates.
