Sorry. You've just fired a neuron. PuTTY just passes what's in the Connection configuration window's "Terminal-type string" setting, and that gets set up as $TERM. By default it's xterm. I find that setting this to linux works better. You may or may not find this. (There's talk of a PuTTY-specific terminfo: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/terminfo.html ) Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "It was rare to catch His Holiness at the moment of @westexe.demon.co.uk | transformation into the Infallible Hulk." | -- Chris Ward, Church Times caption competition.
