	I don't use vi, but it sounds like you have a tab problem.  I had a
similar problem with some games like rogue or hack when playing them through
RR 10.3.  It turned out that the problem was tabs.  If you don't have the
tabs set correctly (I think it is something like 9,17,25,33, etc) then the
screen gets all messed up.  Try fixing your tabs.  Good luck,
