For some reason "vi" on our RS/6000 (all versions so far) decides to map
functions to the <del> key for vt100 and xterm terminal types.  We've
corrected this problem by importing a terminal description from another
machine, but this introduces tabbing errors.  Does anyone know what field
"vi" uses to decide to do the mapping, or know a clean way of fixing this?

Thanks in advance,
