Invoking vi from within sql*plus

I was on a project using hp/ux and the bourne shell. From the sql*plus comand line, I could enter "edit x.x" and Id go into vi in full screen mode.
Now Im on another project, again using hp/ux, this time using the c shell, and when I enter the same thing, I get:
?x.x
and Im apparently in a line editor.

Can someone tell me what parameter in what file makes full screen happen? I

suspect its a UNIX thing, but Im not sure where to start.

Thanks, Mark
