Thanks - my linux guy was trying to do it from tn3270 and had issues and I hadn't tried it as I don't know vi.

You can't use it from a 3270 console because the required cursor movement control is not in the console driver. It can't draw characters where it wants to. So use SSH or telnet to login. Once you have a remote shell, vi should work properly. If you're using telnet from a Windows system, Linux may not detect your terminal type properly. Type "echo $TERM" to see what it thinks your terminal type is. If there is no output, try doing "export TERM=vt100" before running vi. Windows will handle the VT100 cursor movement sequences. Are you having a specific problem with vi? - MacK. ----- Edmund R. MacKenty Software Architect Rocket Software, Inc.
