What does `C-h l' (`view-lossage') report you have pressed when you
hit that key?

(A good way to track it down is to hit the problematic key a few dozen
times, and then look at C-h l. If the key got through at all, the long
sequence of repeats should stick out a mile.)

Once you know that, you can stick appropriate `define-key' calls into
the $lispdir/term/xterm.el file to fix it permanently. (Subtitute
the value of $TERM for `xterm'.)


Tou can't do that in vi.[1]
