The problem is that whenever I telnet the Personal Iris I cannot
use vi (unknown terminal type--using open mode).  Is there a simple
way around this?  We have many users on many different machines who
want to edit files with the vi editor.  The only thing that these
users have in common is that their terminal emulation packages all 
imitate vt100's.  Please respond via e-mail.  Thanks.
