Sorry, you can't. Terminals are all described in the file /etc/termcap, and there are fields for the left, right, up, and down keys. When vi starts up, it binds to the "left" key, not ^[[0A or whatever it is on you're terminal. Since there is no termcap field for a "next page" key, you have to bind to ^[F~, with no name. :alex Alex Crain Systems Programmer alex@umbc3.umbc.edu Univ Md Baltimore County umbc3.umbc.edu!nerwin!alex
