Very Computer

Hi,

I am in a situation where I have to use a windows box to telnet my server.
I am using pine 3.96 and am unable to use it through telnet.  I know I have
done this before, but don't remember if it was an older version of pine.
Any ideas!

Thanks,

Perhaps you need to setup your terminal?  If so, try set term=vt100.  This
will probably only work for tcsh or csh.  Then try to start pine normally.

You might also need setenv TERM vt100 or something like that.

Thanks for the input.  I had already tried changing the terminal type from
the command line, but changing it in my profile did the trick.

Changing the terminal type in the log in profile has messed things up when I
actually log in on the Unix machine.  Now it works fine from telnet.  Is
there a way to have both worlds?

You might try something like this:

if who am i | grep ttyp         #remote login?
then
TERM=vt100
else
TERM=cons25                     #local login
fi

I presume you're doing this using the Windows Telnet program.  If so, the
following will (should) sort out your problem:
Start telnet.
Select 'Connect->Remote System'
In the dialog box that pops up, set up the remote machine,
and more importantly, set up the terminal type to vt100 and not ANSI.
Then log in as usual.  The default is ANSI.
Take out the terminal type setup in your profile.

Thanks Mark,

This works perfectly.  I see now that opening the telnet session for the
first time by using the command (telnet "remote machine") began the session
with defaults, which would be ANSI.  Going through the process of setting up
the remote machine solves the problem.  Another window quirk!

Set your TERM environmental variable to "vt100" then in Winblows Telnet
check the box that allows the emulation to use the arrow keys. (not Windows)
