Another work around I use on my ISPs dumb shell host (BSDI 3.1) in .bashrc if [ "$TERM" = "cons25" ]; then export TERM=scoansi fi This gives better results than using VT100. Also, if you switch to the VT 2xx driver instead of the SCO driver, make sure you edit /etc/ttys. By default the local consoles are set to TERM=cons25. If you don't change both at the same time, you'll get the wrong escape codes. Linux: The Microsoft Windows(tm) of the Unix(tm) world. - alex
