"I also experience the same problem with VT100 and vi with RR and the
"new White Knight. It seems to be a chronic problem. Pasting into vi is
"also a particularly finicky affair, from White Knight.
I have two fixes that always seem to get RR and WK working with vi:
1. Make sure your tabs are set correctly. The tab stops should be
9, 17, 25, .... NOT 8, 16, 24,.... (This is the preferred solution.)
2. In the shell, do "stty -tabs" to disable tabs. (Less preferred, since
it slows things down, and doesn't work on non-UNIX machines.)
As for pasting into vi, be careful if you have auto-indent set. If you
cut a bunch of stuff with leading whitespace, each line will autoindent
to the whitespace of the previous line, then add its own whitespace. This
results in a diagonal flow across the screen.
