I've had simular problems with vi and emacs while using rlogin.  These
basic problems can be solved by invoking the vt100 emulator before
doing an rlogin.  Type 'vt100' to invoke the emulator.  Unfortunately,
sometimes upon exiting the editor (emacs in my case) the rlogin window
will be dead (a problem that has been mentioned in past postings).  
I don't know if this will happen with vi or not.  Hope this helps you out.
