-I have a vi question: whenever I execute a shell command from within vi,
-(say 'fmt'), I get right before the point where the cursor was when I
-executed the command a sequence of control characters, namely: ^[K


Do you perhaps have a .cshrc file on the Sun machine which contains a
`tset...` command or something similar?  I've gotten spurious material
before from the new shell initializing with a .cshrc that generated output.
This is easy to see if you put an "echo message" line in the .cshrc file.
Always assuming that your shell is some variant of csh, of course...
