Hi,

I've noticed that the new VI(1) (to 0.9) no longer works in dumb mode.
i.e.:

	$ touch test
	$ TERM=unknown vi test
	test: new file: line 1
	Error: Initscr failed: No such file or directory
	No TERM environment variable set, or TERM set to "unknown"
	$
or
	$ TERM=dumb vi test
	test: new file: line 1
	Error: Initscr failed: No such file or directory
	dumb: terminal type lacks necessary features
	$

now fail. I think of this as a *serious* loss of
functionality.  Any history to this?

(Could someone please feed this into the gnats system)

			regards	Andrew

(1) I'm refering to the vi found in the early august 1.0 beta snap shot
