I have a small problem with terminal settings, and I wonder if anyone else has noticed the same phenomena: I have an account on two different VAXen. One is my main computer and the other (remote computer) I reach from the main computer via DECNET. On the main computer I have the following terminal setting in my login.com: $ set terminal /line_edit while on the remote computer I have for various reasons $ set terminal /noline_edit The problem is that when SETting HOST to the remote computer, my LOCAL terminal settings are changed: After logging out from the remote computer computer SHOW TERMINAL on the local computer says "No Line Editing". Some related information: It also affects other terminal settings than Line Edit. And it only happens with "standard" DECNET access (SET HOST); with PSI access (SET HOST /X29) the local terminal settings are unchanged. Why does this happen, and is there anything I can do to prevent it?
