I recently upgraded my port of Eterm to 0.9.1. Now whenever I launch Eterm,
it is setting my TERM to Eterm instead of vt100 or vt102. This is causing
some problems with a few apps such as vi, vim, and less. I can easily fix
this by setting the TERM variable to vt102, but it is quite annoying. Is
there a way to the port to set the default TERM to vt100 or vt102 or xterm or
someting.
Here is a copy of a few of the errors I recieve in my apps.
vim
Cannot open termcap file
'Eterm' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
builtin_gui
builtin_ansi
builtin_xterm
builtin_iris-ansi
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'
(It works, but I have to use the old style fo moving the curser rather than
being able to use the arrow keys)
vi
No terminal database found
less
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
Here are descriptions of some other apps I have problems with.
top
displays process information, but immediatly exits with no error message
more
displays one page of information and exits immediatly
man
up arrow does not work to scroll up and I recive a message at the bottom of
the screen with the current byte of the file I am viewing.

Thank you for your help,
