Hi,


I have installed vi on my terminal

My terminal type is ansi.

But for moving my cursor I still have to use h ,,j ,k ,l  keys instead of my
arrow keys.

But I have noticed on certain other unix systems that arrow  keys are used
for this purpose. Which file should I modify & how should I do it?

Any immediate help will be highly appreciated...

Thnks

Rakesh
