    Ah, my favorite question :-)

    This is a really simple thing to fix. When you log in check your term
    display like this:

    $ echo $TERM (press enter here)

    It will probably reply:

    linux

    This is the problem. To fix this with bash, type:

    $ export TERM=vt100 (press enter here)

    check your work:

    $ echo $TERM (press enter here)

    vt100

    vi should behave now. BTW, the command to remove a shell variable is
    unset.
