Whoa, tiger! TERM is the name of the terminal type, and TERMCAP is the name of the file where the termcap is defined. So, irrespective of whether you're using terminfo or termcap, you would set TERM=vt220. If you don't set TERMCAP, it defaults to (I think) /etc/termcap, but you might want to set it to $INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
