What version of Red Ryder are you using?  The latest (10.0)
does vi perfectly well, I use it all the time.  And several
versions before 10.0 also seemed to do VT100 nicely.  Your
problem may be with your setting for the VT100 mode.  To use
vi you must have Red Ryder set to relative positioning, I
think.  Whatever your current setting is, make it the opposite
and see if you like the result better.

Of course, there are a lot of people who will point to other
VT100 problems in Red Ryder, but I don't think vi is one of
them.
