I am currently using vi on both SecureCRT as well as on the freebsd
console and I get the same output when I do that:
zeus% stty -a
speed 9600 baud; 71 rows; 111 columns;
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe echok echoke -echonl echoctl
-echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo
-extproc
iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr ixon -ixoff ixany -imaxbel -ignbrk
brkint -inpck ignpar -parmrk
oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -oxtabs -onocr -onlret
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts
-dsrflow
-dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; erase2 = ^H; intr = ^C; kill = ^U;
lnext = ^V; min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q;
status = ^T; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;
also...Control-V Backspace it gives me '^?', get similar results from
Control-V Del, when I press control-v it gives me '^V'
Thanks for your timely answers,
Dave

Are you using an xterm (XFree86-3 or XFree86-4)? Or are you on the
console? What does "stty -a" produce?
When you are in vi's insert mode, what does Control-V DEL produce?
Similarly what does Control-V BACKSPACE produce?
All this sounds like a problem with your terminal-modes and key-mappings
rather than a problem with vi.
