     Im running Microport Sys V/AT on an AT-clone. Can anyone give me
a shell script for setting the Terminal type at login time. I use the
same login for myself but throughout the day use several terminal types.
Invaribly I forget to manually set TERM type and then VI, and well you
know the rest :-)

     I would like a small script to stick on the end of .profile that
would give me a one-line prompt at login time and ask me for my terminal
type. Preferably if nothing were entered it would default to vt100.

     I attempted to write my own script and everything looked like it
worked except the term type wouldnt actually get changed. Any ideas ?
