Thanks to everybody that repsonded via email, everyone came up
with the same answer, which is shown below. Unfortunately, it can't be
entered into a file,(or at least I haven't been able to with Vi. The
'^J' can't be heald in the file because it always performs a line feed
when typed, even when preceeded with a '^V'. Is there any way of
putting a cnt-j into a file without it being interpreted as a line feed?

# map the cntl-j key to move cursor down while in insert mode
#
map! ^J ^[ja
#
# map the cntl-k key to move cursor up while in insert mode
#
map! ^K ^[ka
#
# map the cntl-l key to move cursor right while in insert mode
