First look at your "Release Notes" in $INFORMIXDIR/release/ONLINE_5.* If the modern "terminfo" is supported with your product, then set your environment variable INFORMIXTERM to terminfo and make sure that this variable will be exported. If your product doesn't support the terminfo, you must correct the settings in /usr/informix/etc/termcap. First find out your terminal type : $ echo $TERMhp Second, find this value in the termcap file. Behind this value is a pipe sign. ( "h4|hp|hp2645|..." ) Below this line you'll find a description of all your terminal capabilities. Search for the following entries: :ku=\\EA:kd=\\EB:kl=\\ED:kr=\\EC: I think your terminal sends the sequence \\EOA instead of \\EA or \\E[A. ( ku means Key Up, kd means Key Down and so on ). Just change the values from \\EA to \\EOA and I hope it will solve your problem. To avoid problems with other terminals it's alway a good idea to create a new entry in the termcap. But I don't know wether you have different termials, X-terminals ... Bye, Servus Stefan. mailto:stefan@weideneder.de
