What?! "Arrow keys" in vi?! That's heresy!!! Actually, the problem is in the keymapping done for the Amiga console device(s). Check the /usr/amiga/lib/kmap directory for other (provided) keymaps. They can be changed with: $ sioc setkmap or $ sioc setdefkmap You really shouldn't be using the arrow keys, ya' know? Most implementations of vi don't set the mappings properly for using the arrow keys in INPUT mode (not vi's fault -- I'm not sure they _can_ be set properly). I'm using /usr/amiga/lib/kmap/usa0 for the program I'm porting which prefers vt100-compatible. >Thanks Your welcome. Good Luck! >Chuck Pateros >pateros@ecse.rpi.edu -- Frank J.
