You might want to tell Sun about it.  Then maybe they make it work again
in the next release.

>BTW... I myself have never gotten vi on 4.1.x to work resizing either...

You have to type:

	Q
	set term=xterm
	vi

You can't :map these commands, but you can yank the lower two lines
into "q and use Q@Q<return>.

Yes, it's absurd to set term=xterm when it is xterm already, but that's the
way to tell the SunOS 4.1.x version of vi that the window size has changed.

I'd be surprised if this works for Elvis....

>but then I don't have a need to resize my windows...

Lucky you.  It's a pain.
