I'm a gnuemacs user myself (I think vi is just awful), so I don't know much
about vi.  Since I have no problem with vt100 emulation here with any comm
program I've ever used, I have to wonder if your system knows you're using a
vt100 emulator.  Are you asked what terminal type you're using when you log
on, or does your system assume some mysterious default?  Try issuing the UNIX
command,
	setenv TERM vt100
before you start vi.

Hope that helps.
