	Sorry, you can't. Terminals are all described in the file
/etc/termcap, and there are fields for the left, right, up, and down
keys. When vi starts up, it binds to the "left" key, not ^[[0A or
whatever it is on you're terminal. Since there is no termcap field for
a "next page" key, you have to bind to ^[F~, with no name.
