I've used Zterm quite a bit using "vi". The solution to the scrolling problem
while using "vi" or other unix programs that rely on vt100 is quite simple.
Select "Terminal..." from the Settings menu.  Then turn off the feature "Auto
Line Feed". Save the setting that you use for your unix connections and you
are set. This feature was added in version 0.75 for this reason. The problem
has to do with the slight differences between ansi.sys and vt100. Zterm author
Dave Alverson did sort of a hybrid between the two. After being bugged by many
unix users on the EchoMac conference, he added the feature to turn off auto
line feeds. After using the patch for Zterm 0.8 to get rid of the destructive
backspace, you'll have no problems using "vi" in Zterm.
