Your terminal emulation in Procomm+ should match whatever you are set for
at the host ($TERM); usually vt100 unless someone has tweeked it, however....
I too am using Procomm+ from 2 different brands of PCs going into 3 different
systems where I am set for vt100 and have problems with vi similar to yours
(although not identical).  I am beginning to think that Procomm+ has
rather poor terminal emulation.  I was about to do some testing to see
if any other emulations would work better.  Guess I will skip TVI950.
I was going to try ansi next.

If anyone else has a solution or solid information about terminal emulation
in Procomm+ (as it relates to vi), I too would be interested in hearing 
about it.
