Lines: 23 I have had some luck by setting the pseudo-tty entries to be a vt100 type window. If you get one where term is set to dumb, vi does not work. To change these, use "devices" and go 1 by 1, or edit the /etc/ports file. There is an entry there for every port. After you change the file, there is a good chance you have to re-boot. (I personally use the "devices" command so that I don't get in trouble). It seems once the prot is "told" you have a dumb terminal, changing TERM or doing tset does not fix it. (!!) Of course, if anybody else knows better, by all means let me know what I have to do. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Internet: sergio@squid.rtech.com Sergio L.
