I've placed my .exrc file which has the correct character
mappings for vi to use the cursor control keys in the Freeware
section of my web site.  The direct URL is:
http://www.editcorp.com/FTP/HP3000/FREEWARE/exrc
Download the above and place it into your home directory as
.exrc (notice the preceeding period) on the 3000.  When
down/uploading, make sure you use a binary protocol, or
Samba/iX :).

  I normally use the PFE editor with Samba/iX but there
are times when vi works better, so why not have your
cursor keys!
