Just type :map <ctrl-V> and then press the key.

You can put this sort of mapping in a .exrc file, but if you are using
several different terminal types, you have a problem.  Perhaps you could
set EXINIT to "source $HOME/depends/on/ttytype".

Really?  This version of vi (version 3.7, 6/7/85), interprets #12 as f1.
