We have both VMS and Unix (Ultrix) systems here. One of my people has a vt240 and connects to either system, either through a data switch, or through set host from vms. The problem is, the escape key on the vt240 sends a "]23~", which editors like vi interpret as a combination of garbage and "change case" commands; the usual affect is to change the case of the character under the cursor and move the cursor forward one character. Her TERM env variable is set to vt200. What are we doing wrong? -- kral * 408/647-6112 * ...!uunet!drivax!braun * braun@dri.com "Talking trash, touching on truth" -- Micheal Hedges "1-900-I-LUV-YOU"
