problem using "vi" in redhat
 
Hi all
I am having trouble using vi on my redhat machine. I get a weird command prompt it is [?0c.
Even in insert mode the characters [?0c are the command prompt and it overwites part of my programs with this prompt every time I move down a line.

Has anyone seen this problem before and if so please help.
Sutho

Hello

Is this in the X version (for example, VIM under KDE/Gnome) or non-gui version?

Regards

Are you accessing vi from a remote terminal. If so change the terminal settings. It may work.

try in vi
set term=ansi

in vi do
:help term and try those listed


though it sounds like your terminal is wacky.
what do you get with

echo $TERM ?
