Problem using vim in csh on linux

I'm new to linux. I have used unix for decades. We are moving to redhat linux servers at work and I'm trying to use vi but have a problem with the vi window refresh. When the file first opens, all looks good. As I page back and forth, the file starts to look corrupted but is really just that the window is not fully refreshed, I think.

I tried vim with the same result as vi though I think when I launch vi, it is aliased to vim. My default shell is csh. Today, on a whim, I switched my current shell to ksh and tried vi/vim and it works perfectly.

How can I get vi/vim to work properly in csh on linux?
Please, no responses telling me to use ksh, instead of csh or a different editor unless it is just vi by another name. Thanks.
