Fixing Vi and Arrows in Insert Mode

Recently I moved one of my sites onto another server, different installation. I noticed when i was working in Vi in insert mode my arrow keys would insert their values instead of navigating around the text. To fix this:

• Make a new file in your home directory valled .vimrc
• Inside it put in:

  :set backspace=indent,eol,start
:set term=builtin_ansi

Now that global setting should be applied whenever you are working with files in vi and your cursor navigation troubles should be no more!
