... when you log into the potato box, what's the value of the TERM environment value (get this by typing "env").

The closest TERM value is 'sun' which will use the full screen idea ok but neither the cursor keys nor h/j/k/l will move about the page. Other TERMs produce rather worse responses. I've also tried stty sane and looked at individual stty options, to no avail. I am connecting to 'potato' via telnet from a solaris box which I interact with via an OpenWindows xterm. I have also tried a vanilla telnet app. and get the same results. I am new to debian, having arrived here from Solaris via (a brief stop at) redhat. Not being able to edit files is a bit of a handicap at this early stage. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Rolf. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
