Running vi with vidi requires you to change your terminal type.  I use the
following alias:
	alias smlscr 'vidi e80x43 ; setenv TERM ansi43'

You then must concoct such a termcap entry (I believe vi still uses termcap)

Relevant parameter is:
	:dc=\E[P:dl=\E[M:do=\E[B:bt=\E[Z:ei=:ho=\E[H:ic=\E[@:im=:li#43:\
                                                                  -----

And vi should be a happy camper.  Can't help with the other problem; never
happened to me. 

Hope it helps.
