Hello,

let me see if i can describe my problem..
i currently am using putty to access my bsd box from windows 2000. Using an
editor such as vi, i may edit a file and exit vi. When that happens i would
like the terminal to return to its original state. instead it leaves some of
the file left of the screen. what i want is for the terminal to return to
the same state it was in before entering vi.

how can i do this? what is this called?
Thanks,

brian


before vi:
----------
artist.txt                      sample.jpg
artist_list.txt                 wav/
cake/                           winscp200.exe
close.pl
[/home/henninb]> vi artist.txt


after vi
