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.
