vi fails under MKS in DesqView

I have MKS Toolkit, and DesqView (the latest version).  When I
try to run 'vi' in MKS Toolkit while I am in a DesqView window,
it starts to run, then it beeps forever.  I can get Deskview's
attention with the ALT key, but the beeping doesn't stop until
I actually close the window.

My vi works perfectly otherwise (ie: not under DesqView).  I
have a 386SX with 2M RAM.

Does anyone out there have any ideas?  Have you had this
problem before?

Thanks in advance.
