I need to ssh to a sun machine and then run vi. Actually, I need to run
edquota which then runs vi. But I'm having trouble because the terminal type
is 'linux'. Apparently, sun doesn't know about that terminal type. I know I
can set the terminal type by saying something like 'set TERM=vt100'. The
problem with that is that I'm not using a vt100, I'm sshing from a linux
box. If I do that, vi doesn't give me an error message but the keys don't
work either.
