We are running 4.1 BSD and I use EXINIT to define some key-sequences 
that contain a ^D; as this doesn't seem to work in a .exrc file.
So the environment variable EXINIT looks like:

    map ^D B|etc...|source $HOME/.exrc

The vertical bar '|' is a separator and the source command directs 
vi to read further key mappings from the file .exrc in my home directory. 
This works just fine.  I don't know whether the source command
is available in system V.
