my VI is acting "strange"

hi guys,

one of the vi installed on a machine acts really strange. I mean, when I do Page-Down on one of our HP-UX boxes, it works as expected. On the other HP-UX box, it just changes the case of the character.

Can anyone let me know if there is a configuration file or something that I have to do, or do I have to set my term to anything, or what?

thanks

Check the itemap(1M) man page. Perhaps the one has the wrong keyboard mapping defined. You can check the two systems to see if their mapping is the same.
