The reason for that is vim has many more (useful!) features than 'vi'
(copyrighted by Bill Joy and found only on Solaris sytems) or the
other free clones (elvis and nvi).

Indeed!

export TERM=dtterm
The termcap on Solaris is a bit braindead since xterm and friends
entries lack color support. I did manage to discover, at one point,
that the dtterm (their CDE terminal emulator) entry has color support
and is compatible with xterm.
