Some more data. Maybe it's because I'm tricking up my system to run 80x48 textmode consoles with 10-pixel-high font, but my system does *NOT* react well to screen. Once I've used screen, it seems to reset the terminal type to behave like vt100 in *ALL* tty's. vim and mc deal properly with arrow keys under screen. This screws up programs that are *NOT* running under screen, because they still see "TERM=linux" in the environment. I tried "export TERM=vt100" and it fixed vim's behaviour re; arrow keys outside of screen. What I absolutely hate about "faithfull vt emulation" is that the f'ing numeric keypad becomes all function keys, and you *MUST* use the main keyboard for numbers and /*+- and <ENTER>. Logging out and logging back in does *NOT* seem to cure this reset to vt100 mode for non-screen consoles. I had to reboot to get vim and mc to work properly in non-screen consoles with "TERM=linux". Needless to say, I will *NOT* be experimenting with screen. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
