Since your dg d211 implements it, try using the ANSI sequence to move down
a line, \E[B, for cud1.  I suspect your problem go in vi will go away.

What does \l mean?  I can't find it in the terminfo man entry.
If your terminal supports it, try setting ind=\ED.  For our AT&T 630
terminals, we have nel=\r\n also.  It seems to work fine on our Suns,
IBM RS/6000, AT&T 3B1's and 3B2's, etc.
