If the trouble you had is the same as the trouble I had (that vi expected the
cursor to remain at the right edge when a character was printed to the
eightieth column and therefore sent a CR and an LF that you didn't need) it
turned out that removing eat_newline_bug (xenl) from the terminal definition
solved it.
