Hi,

I have to keep on typing in the following command when I logoto a UNIX telnet session:

TERM=vt100 and sometimes setenv TERM vt100 for Oracle.

Would appreciate it if someone could recommend on how to make this change permanently, thanks.

Regards

kmz -

You should be able to put this information in your .profile.

export TERM=vt100

The above is for Korn shell, for c shell put this in your .login

setenv TERM vt100

Hope this helps! [sig]<p>Christopher Devenny<br><a href=mailto:c_devenny@yahoo.com>c_devenny@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
 
Note that this solution will set TERM=vt100 everytime someone logs in using that user. [sig]<p>Ged Jones<br><a href= > </a><br>Top man[/sig]
