OT - vi and Linux

[Howard Wolowitz]

OT but I bet some of you can help.

We switched two of our servers to Linux a couple of months ago and one 
outstanding problem occurs using vi and facetwin scoansi emulation.  In the 
middle of a vi session the colors on the screen change to dark blue on 
black - very hard (actually impossible) to work with.

Our answer is to use mcedit from Mid-Night Commander but (and I can't 
believe I'm about to say this) I miss vi!

Does anyone know what we can do to fix it?

Thanks,
Howie
