We have to rely on setting the TERM in the users profile, possibly with the option of a question at login time to allow someone not at his regular terminal to set TERM to something else. As yet most of our users are not aware of the uses of TERM, since we run mostly v7 stuff, but this will change as a VAX 750 comes on line. If anyone has a good idea how we can get the systems to determine terminal types without associating a terminal type with a specific terminal line, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance. -- Dave Legg, DCIEM, Toronto, Ont. Canada. (416) 635-2065 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsrgv!dciem!davel {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!davel
