I recently took a class on Unix and we used Win95 machines to Telnet into our server and vi acted "weird." The instructor acknowledged this and said that there was nothing we could do. I would suggest using a Windoze X Client software in place of Telnet. We use Exceed and it works well. There may be something available that is "free" but I don't know.
HTH >>> "David Karlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/6/98 3:49:08 AM >>> Hello, I'm running a hamm system and mostly login through a telnet window on my win95 machine (I have only one monitor as of yet). When I run vi in the telnet window, I get some strange behavior. Just about no matter which key I press, the screen blanks, and then vi begins to save a copy of the file. (BTW, deselect also acts strangely.) When I plug my monitor into the Linux box and login at the console, vi works fine. I asked someone about this and he said it might have something to do with the terminal type of my telnet client. The win95 telnet client I'm using emulates a VT100-ansi. Has anyone experienced this kind of situation? Can anyone point me to the appropriate docs, or offer a solution? I looked in "Running Linux", but couldn't find any info there.
