I've got a version of vi that runs on our OS/9 systems here, but it's not
happy with the various termcap entries for the VT100 terminal that I've
tried.  Many of those same entries work fine with umacs, but I get a lot
of spurious "5" characters at the beginning of cursor moves.  For example,
at the beginning of a tab, or in place at the cursor when moving around
in vi using h,j,k,l.  I get the feeling there's something peculiar about
my version of vi that wants some strange entry in the termcap.  I've tried
many, many variations without much success.

If someone has a termcap entry for the VT100 that they know works with the
vi program floating around, I'd surely appreciate a copy.  Or if anyone
has any other suggestions, or a better version of vi, perhaps.

Thanks.
