Hello Can anyone say where I would set the value for TERM when using Eterm. I want to set it to xterm as I find programs work better when this value is set. I have the following in .bashrc but there is probably a better way of doing things: # if [ $TERM = Eterm ] # then # # TERM=xterm # fi t.irvine -- Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor ne'er shall be.
