I see that the file scrolls up beyond the window and appears to "behave
strangely".  (Only though a telnet connection, not when I xterm pointed back
at my machine....   "rsh xterm -display xxx:0&"

I think it is indeed a function of the window being a different size
than what vi is expecting.   I can fix it with "stty rows 24" before running vi.
