    I've tried to set up a shell script in the systems /etc/profile
to read user input and set the terminal type accordingly, but I ran into
a problem with the TERM variable being exported to the login shell and
not to the users shell.  A system wide .login might run into similar
'environment' problems.  I'm running System V (ver 3.0) on a 3B2-400.
    An ATT technician tells me there is a way to fix this.  Any ideas
on this or the system wide .login??
