QNX vi (aka elvis) over serial terminal  
Hi QNX people

has anyone tried elvis in a terminal session over serial port with any external client (not Eclipse). For example "GNU 
screen", "TeraTerm", "Hyper Terminal", "ZOC" etc. 

The problem I have is that elvis shows only current line of file, doesn't use the whole terminal window. And even with a
 single line you still can't properly navigate through content using arrow keys. I found that you sort of can scroll 
down using Ctrl+D but can't scroll up or horizontally. Basically useless.

Any ideas please? 

The terminal is configured as "ansi" and is fine with 'printf' style standard QNX utility apps. The only problem is with
 elvis not using the whole terminal window and scrolling not working properly.  

From my startup script:

TERM=ansi
reopen /dev/ser1
[+session] ksh & 


Thanks
