Terminal too wide


When my terminal size is large I often get this error from my vi editor , is there a way to circumvent the problem, I want the terminal size to remain same while doing a vi. Can a parameter change fix this problem.

Thanks.

Re: Terminal too wide

I don't think so. Do you have it > 256?

This link mentions not being able to make the window large, nothing about vi:
