I am working on an RS/6000 running AIX v3.1 3001. We have IBM terms
Model 3151 that have WYSE 50 cards in the back. For software reasons
the WYSE 50 is emulating an ADDS viewpoint.
The problem: When I start vi in this configuration I briefly get a
message saying "Missing lhs" flashed at the top of the screen and
then the appropriate file loads and overwrites the messsage. On the
other hand if I reset the TERM variable to =ibm3151 and setup the term
in native 3151 mode this message does not occur.
The functionality of vi does not seem to be affected but it is just
overall curiosity that has me asking this question. Please don't say
RTFM because I currently don't have any and an on-line search has been
next to worthless.
In addition, how *does* vi get its initial setup on an RS/6000?
Thanks (hope this is not an FAQ...)
