You need to have a terminal designation other than dumb to run vi in
anything but command line mode. (Can anyone say welcome to ed.) Since you
have not listed your monitor and system type try using TERM=vt100; export
TERM. If you are on a pc you might try TERM=ansi; export TERM. With a
vt100 designation most of your number lock and page up, page down stuff will
not work without knowing the control sequences for the terminal.
