OK, I'll make some assumptions: 1. You're on the HP console. 2. You just want to dbaccess or onmonitor up. My experience with HP terms is to leave Informix's termcap alone - HP's works much better. So: 1. unset TERMCAP 2. TERM=hp 3. export TERM should work. If, for some reason, you *do* want to use Informix's termcap, then: 1. TERMCAP=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap 2. export TERMCAP 3. TERM=whatever 4. export TERM HTH. -- Ciao, Billy "...nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat..."
