FYI, I use a thing called PuTTY... don't remember where it sits but it can be found on a Google.com search. It is essentially a stripped-down xterm client for Win9X (maybe even W2k), meaning it cannot do X GUI, but it is fast (220k exe) and easy (settings are menu-ized). Just make sure, of course, your server does xterm. Personally, VT100 makes me want to throw my monitor through the wall. It also (my favorite) does cut-n-paste, no keystrokes needed: left-highlight then right-click, just make sure your cursor is where you want it, and vi is already in input mode because it just sends an ASCII stream. An annoying side-effect is that tabs are converted to spaces, but I can live with that. Good luck, G.

When you telnet to a server, your telnet client (where you're sat) informs the telnet server (the other end) what terminal it's pretending to be - a terminal being a dumb screen/keyboard that used to be connected to the server using a serial cable. This is what telnet pretends to be because that way when telnet was developed half of the work was already done. The telnet server then look up the terminal description in either a termcap or terminfo database and from that extracts things like the number of lines and columns, the ctrl characters to scroll text and move the cursor. applications like vim then use this info. Your problem is that either you don't have an entry for whatever your telnet client is giving, or the entry is wrong. If you're using the bog standard Windows telnet client, go to preferences and turn on VT100 arrows and Vt100 emulation. Then when you log in, set your TERM variable to vt100 - all should then be fine, i.e. export TERM=vt100 Gary On Friday 20 July 2001 6:02 am, Rahul Garg wrote: > Subject: simple Telnet or vi editor problem > > > I am using vi editor on telnet.
