FWIW, this message is being edited with vi on a 2.2.8-STABLE machine rlogged in from a dxterm running on an OSF/1 box. The keyboard is one of DEC's LK401 things with the funny "Do" keys etc from back when VAX was just a twinkle in PDP's eye. I have TERM=vt100 in my FreeBSD environment, dxterm configured with the "Numeric Keypad" option checked and vt100 emulation, so keypad keys are 0.123456789, just like you'd expect. It's not vi that's the problem, just your termcap setting doesn't match the keyboard. -- John Birrell - j...@cimlogic.com.au; j...@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
