- You might want to tell Sun about it. Then maybe they make it work again
- in the next release.

- You have to type:
-
- Q
- set term=xterm
- vi
-
- You can't :map these commands, but you can yank the lower two lines
- into "q and use Q@Q<return>.
-
- Yes, it's absurd to set term=xterm when it is xterm already, but that's the
- way to tell the SunOS 4.1.x version of vi that the window size has changed.
-
- I'd be surprised if this works for Elvis....
-
- >but then I don't have a need to resize my windows...
-
- Lucky you. It's a pain.
