The termcap capabilities vs and ve are NOT vi/ex specific.  It is used to
set up a visual standout mode which vi/ex would like since it is screen
oriented.  The man page states that "these can be used to change, e.g.,
from a underline to a block cursor and back."  This is not supposed to be
a string that sets up the screen/micro/whatever for vi editing (don't use
it to program your function keys for vi editing).
