 I've only seen this for two reasons:
 
 . your TERM variable is wrong (e.g. your .login or .cshrc foolishly
   clobbers TERM to cons25, even if you are running an xterm), or
 
 . over the network.  I think the latter problem is a known one, something
   with the (n?)curses library.

 No, I've checked to ensure TERM was set correctly.

 Yeah!  Console works fine but rsh-ing, telnet-ing into the machine
 (whether it's Xterm or a vt100) over the network has problems.  
 
 Is this (n?)curses thing being fixed before the release? 
 
 Many Thanks for your help and Happy New Year!

 It turns out to be a vi problem about the default timeout value...
 Try
 
 :set escapetime=10
 
 There's a discussion in the FreeBSD mailing lists right now, i'd
 expect that we bump that value from 1 to 10 before the release.

This should be resolved by having the default escapetime value 
set to a higher value.
