I also have aterm and tried ssh with two different machines. Both return rxvt which is what echo $TERM gives when in a local terminal. (At some point I was thinking of using mrxvt, but fluxbox allows me to stack multiple aterms into a single tabbed terminal so I haven't tried it yet). -- Regards, Mick
