  12. It seems that when I try to edit a file with vi with a filename longer than
  13. ~66 characters, it stops with a "[Hit return to continue]" message before
  14. proceeding.  I've tried this with two different version of vi with the same
  15. results.  If I change TERM to a terminal with >80 characters, I can type
  16. more characters without the message.  Also, while view behaves similarly,
  17. ex doesn't seem to care how long the filename is.  Any ideas?
