Furthermore, learn to write a decent .cshrc or .shrc file and check the
values of `uname -s` and `arch` to determine what to set the terminal
environment variable to.  If I didn't take care of this I could never
log into anything from my irix workstation without manually setting term
types.  The iris-ansi-net term type doesn't work right just about
anywhere.
