Somehowofftopic: Cursorkeys with *vi* on Solaris...

Hi,

this is a somehow offtopic question, but I need a little help to
survive.... ;)

At work I am urged to use the plain vi on a SUN Solaris (5.3, I think)
workstation very often.
I cannot install vi mthere for various reasons.

One thing I cannot get off my fingers is using the cursor keys in
input mode .., which has "interesting" results on my source code
(hrrrm).

I found tutorial on the web how to map the cursor keys, but they do
not work.
Very often I saw the sequence "^[" in those docs. I think, this
is the ESC-symbol.

BUT:. CTL-v (verbose input in vim) does not work with this plain vi.

It would help me A LOT, if someone knows the trick how to remap the
cursor keys, so they do work in input mode with a plain vi on SUN
solaris.

VIM RULES!

Best regards,
mcc
