The problem is that TERM isn't set, and vi doesn't know what kind of display
you have, so it's defaulting to a tty (which actually was short for teletype,
an input/output typewriter-like device that was used up through the early
seventies).
Simplest solution: assuming you're using bash as your shell, put in your
.bash_profile the line:
export TERM=vt100
and you'll be ok, the next time you log in. For your current session, type
the same thing in at the command prompt.
(Grammer hint: it's when you open a file in vi).
