Well, I think the original response discussion has settled... Is it just me,
or has anyone else noticed problems with auto-wrap terminals and SunOS4.1x
curses? Specifically, vi tends to emit an extra linefeed when drawing 80+
column lines, making the actual screen appearance different from what vi
thinks is onscreen. When you cursor up and down it also tends to forget
where line 1 is, and you can't move the cursor all the way to the physical
line 1. 

This seems to happen regardless of whether I use screen or their built-in
terminfo descriptions on a raw terminal. (vt220, vt320, all happens the same.)
Damned annoying, and toggling auto-wrap on the terminal itself doesn't seem
to help.
