Hi,
I found a strange incompatibility using vi under HPUX A.08.02 (earlier  
Versions of HPUX work) from a NeXT: Everything is fine, except that when  
using 'x' in command mode to erase characters I don't see the change until  
I enter ^L (redisplay). Happens both with Stuart and with Terminal,  
irrespective of any fumbling with stty (locally and remotely) or  
Terminal/Stuart settings. Non-NeXT machines donn't show this behavior; I  
tried a DEC and (I believe) a Sun. I added 'map x x^L' to my .exrc as a  
workaround, but that's a nuisance.

I know this is a *very* specific question, but if anybody has experienced  
something similar, I'd appreciate responses (by email). I'll summarize.
Thanks.
