If you open vi in kterm, doesn't it read it correctly?

What O/S and distribution are you using?  This often makes a difference.

Vim, in almost any distro, should be able to read it.  In Slackware, vi
aliases to elvis, in FreeBSD to nvi and in Deb I think it also goes to
nvi.  In RH and many others, it aliases to vim.  (The way to tell is,
for example,)

which vi
/usr/bin/vi
ls -l /usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/vi -> /usr/bin/vim
