PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Numeric keypad does not register in vi

REASON

This problem may occur when 'xterm' or 'vt100' is used for terminal.

To resolve this issue, change the terminal type to 'ansi' , 'linux' or 'vt220.' 'xterm' and 'vt110' does not support the numeric keypad.

To change the terminal type, execute the following command:

$export TERM=ansi or setenv TERM ansi

The following directions are for when configuring the terminal type to ansi.

In user's home directory, create a file called 'vi' then input the following:

#!/bin/sh
TERM=ansi
export TERM
exec /usr/bin/vi $@

Then when executing vi, the script created above will be executed.

$chmod 755 $HOME/vi
$alIas vi='$HOME/vi'
(if C shell, $alias vi '$HOME/vi')
