VMS & SGI and terminfo

[Bill Silvert]

I was reminded of a problem I sometimes have when I read:

I'm using the console via cu at 9600 baud to an old Unix system we have,
and I used infocmp to generate termcap and terminfo files for it.  But
frequently when running vi, especially when the cursor is jumping around
(for example, at the beginning of a line I type "A"), large blocks of
text get erased.  Not really erased, I get them back with ^L, but they
vanish from the screen.  Any hints on how to avoid this?
