I dial in through Jason rather frequently. My terminal behaves like a
VT100. For some reason, "vi" starts all screens at approximately line
12 or so (half way). By using the "up" arrow, I can manage to make
use of the top half of my screen, but otherwise this is wasted realestate.
This is annoying. The "forward screen" and "backward screen" commands
behave in the same way.
--KUBI--
p.s. Please spare me the "use emacs" flames... vi is great as a quick, low-
overhead editor.
