I'm running HP-UX 10.20, ODS 7.23UC5. Add the following to
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap.
dtterm:\\
:is=\\E=\\E[?3l\\E[?4l\\E[?7h\\E[?1h\\E(B\\E)0:\\
:k0=\\E11~:\\
:k1=\\E12~:\\
:k2=\\E13~:\\
:k3=\\E14~:\\
:k4=\\E15~:\\
:k5=\\E17~:\\
:k6=\\E18~:\\
:k7=\\E19~:\\
:k8=\\E20~:\\
:k9=\\E21~:\\
:tc=vt100:
I spend quite a lot of time using dtterms. Be sure that you are using
25 line windows.
BTW, you are running Xwindows, aren't you? If your telnet sessions
are coming up as dtterms, you probably want to look at your terminal
ID stuff.
