How to use a Vi editor on solaris 10 platform

When ever I use Vi editor on the solaris platform the backspace key does not work as expected also the delete key works as Caps key and the arrows key when used results in writing A B C D alphabets and the keys above the Ins and Del results in others alphabets like M N etc..

Did the Vi editor on the solaris works on the SPARC platform Is it possible to other editors rather than Vi here ........Please suggest....Smilie

I am using solaris 10 ( Intel platform )
