Nope.  You have to use the vt100 emulator (which ought to get loaded
automatically when you run vi - unless you're trying to do it remote).

Someone should create a FAQ list, and at the top it should say:

	Workstations were supposed to obsolete terminals.
	But they didn't.
	But pads still aren't terminals.

everyone else's.
