Greetings DUnix Mans & Womans,
This one must have come up before, my apologies in advance if I'm
wasting your bandwidth, its just real frustrating..
In "Digital UNIX V3.2C", when I open a file in vi, all the escape chars
(y'know <ESC> 0x1b) are not displayed, and do not get written out when
the file gets saved..
This effectively breaks all the *clever* things like mapping functions
keys in ${HOME}/.exrc, ANSI graphics, etc..
vi does not do this in DEC RISC ULTRIX 4.4 (BSD flavoured)...
My reading of the man page makes no mention of this; Is this a
"This change was made to meet the specifications of XPG4."
Is there any way to turn it back on???
TIA, fRAnX.
