Hi. I'm dialing into my NeXT from school and I'm having some problems.
I'm using an HDS3200 terminal at school which I have set for vt100
emulation. When I log into my NeXT, it does not automatically sense the
terminal type (vt100) and instead sets it to 'dialup'. I would like to
find a way to auto-sense the terminal type. Right now, I manually change
the environment variable TERM so that vi and more work properly.
Also, This terminal does TEK40xx emulation. Does Mathematica support
TEK40xx terminals? I saw that /etc/termcap had a bunch of TEK entries.
If so, how do I get Mathematica to do TEK40xx? I tried setting TERM
to tek4014 and then running the command line version of Mathematica.
The command : Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,1}] didn't get me any graphics.
Thanks,
Ralph

Well, strictly speaking, you can't, since the "inquire" sequences for some terminals "crash" others. +++This is one of those questions that deserves a FAQ entry. Here's how we dealt with it: (valid for 1.0/1.0a, 2.0, 2.1) --8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<-- # cd /usr/template/user # mv .login ../.login.orig # cat - >.login <<EOF # # This file gets executed once at login or window startup. # switch ($TERM) case network: case dialup: case unknown: unsetenv TERMCAP set noglob @ status=1 while ($status) eval `tset -Q -s -m :\?vt100` end unset noglob set term=$TERM breaksw default: set noglob; eval `tset -Q -s`; unset noglob set term=$TERM stty -tabs breaksw endsw stty decctlq intr "^C" erase "^?" kill "^U" cd EOF # chmod 644 .login # chown 0.0 .login --8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<--CUT-HERE--8<-- BTW, the stty -tabs is almost certainly wrong (feel free to improve on this)! -=EPS=-
