Hi. vi currently displays characters whose code is >= 128 in hexadecimal
form instead of the character itself. (I'm using an xterm, but this also
happens in a vt100 modem login.) I have recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0-R;
this problem didn't happen under my 2.0.5 system, at least in xterms.

I couldn't find anything interesting in the vi manpage about this.
How can I have those special characters displayed directly? Thanks...

Pierre.
