I access some machines remotely and I don't want to install the terminfo entry on all of them (some of which belong to customers and I wouldn't even want to temper with their system). So I simply set TERM=vt220 when on the remote machine. Insert mode is used by nvi and traditional vi among others. -- Eckehard Berns
