Hello,
     
     I received several suggestions.  Here is what worked for me:
     
     Pressing the F11 key works (I was told F10 might work but it did not 
     for me).
     
     Also use the CTRL-[ sequence - this too worked for me.
     
     Thanks to all who responded.
     
     My Original Question was:
     
     We recently hooked up a Raritan Master Console switchbox to replace 
     several DUNIX V4.0a systems and two DUNIX V4.0d systems.  These 
     Raritan switches are resold and installed by DECompaq.  Everything 
     works a-ok except the escape key.  Whenever I'm in the vi editor and 
     press the escape key nothing happens.  If I telnet to these boxes and 
     go into vi then the escape key functions normally.  The escape key on 
     the consoles was functioning normally before the Raritan switch was 
     introduced.
     
     Thanks again,
