These settings depend on the type of terminal you have and what Shell you will be using.
The first one to choose is the value of $TERM which would usually be set in .profile.

Which files to change depends on what Shell you are running. You mention ".cshrc" which implies "csh". Using "csh" just makes things awkward for yourself and is of no use to a Systems Administrator.
First choose your Shell wisely unless you are "root" in which case don't change it from the system setting.

Btw. The "vi" terminal key codes file is called ".exrc". The syntax is usually described in "man ex". On most unixes the editors ex, vi, edit, vedit and view are actually the same program which behaves differently according to how it is called.

Afaik there is no Operating System called AIX-UX though IBM's version of unix used to be called AIX.

Intro(9S)						    Data Structures for Drivers 						 Intro(9S)

NAME

       Intro, intro - introduction to kernel data structures and properties

DESCRIPTION

       Section	9P  describes kernel properties used by device drivers. Section 9S describes the data structures used by drivers to share informa-
       tion between the driver and the kernel. See Intro(9E) for an overview of device driver interfaces.

       In Section 9S, reference pages contain the following headings:

	   o	  NAME summarizes the purpose of the structure or property.

	   o	  SYNOPSIS lists the include file that defines the structure or property.

	   o	  INTERFACE LEVEL describes any architecture dependencies.

	   o	  DESCRIPTION provides general information about the structure or property.

	   o	  STRUCTURE MEMBERS lists all accessible structure members (for Section 9S).

	   o	  SEE ALSO gives sources for further information.

       Of the preceding headings, Section 9P reference pages contain the NAME, DESCRIPTION, and SEE ALSO fields.

       Every driver MUST include <sys/ddi.h> and <sys/sunddi.h>, in that order, and as final entries.

       The following table summarizes the STREAMS structures described in Section 9S.
