If your arrow keys aren't working in vi, then your terminal settings are borked.


I like your diagnosis, definitely borked.

Tried AEE, emacs and pico but I'm not getting anywhere really, I need to unbork my tty settings. I access the Linux box from my Win2K PC using a terminal emulation application that's set to use wy60 settings, these work fine in the application but not at the shell prompt. At the shell prompt I've tried:

export TERM=wy60 (and vt100 and ansi) but can't get my arrow keys to work properly.
