But how to I automate it so that I don't have to type it in by hand, short of putting that line in the .login script What I want is the correct way to make it know that types 'ansi' 'dialup' and 'unknown' are really 'vt100' and if I used a different type of connection it would recognize it for what it was. maybe like: if ($term = ansi) set term = vt100 endif Would that work, I have tried a few ways, but no luck yet. Let me know what I am missing. Or should I just put "set term = vt100" in everybody's .login? TIA Christopher J.
