Vi: Using the numeric keypad

The numeric keypad doesn't work in "vi" when the term is set to "vt100" or "xterm". However, if you set your term type to 'ansi', then it will work. The recommended solution if you want to use the numeric keypad on a regular basis is to create a shell script. 

EXAMPLE:

#!/bin/sh

set TERM=ansi
export TERM

exec /usr/bin/vi $@
