> SO: what's the si
g dumb terminal settings.
It's easy enough to do a "set term=xterm" but I really don't want to keep
doing that. Why did Debian create their own terminfo/cap entry and why
was such a change necessary?
Thanks,

Hopefully all of us who support Open Source can do something about this.

Great! Thanks!
I was afraid something might be wrong. Although I can't get information
from "mt" any more. I'll probably have to reboot. Thanks again.
