[comp.sys.mac.apps] Arrow keys in MicroPhone -> Unix

rsholmes@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Rich Holmes) (01/22/91)

If I call up the UNIX machine from my VAX workstation via Telnet, the arrow 
keys work.
If I call up the VAX from my Macintosh using MicroPhone II, the arrow keys
work.
But If I call up the UNIX machine from my Mac (at least if I go thru the VAX
and Telnet; usually I don't call up the Sun directly), the arrow keys don't
work.

Does anyone know a fix?  If it's on the Mac end, great.  If it's on the UNIX
end, you're gonna have to explain it to me carefully...  Thanks.

Try setting your TERM environment variable to 'vt100' in your login
sequence...

	Bourne/Korn Shells	C shell
	------------------	-------

	add the lines:		add the line:

	  set TERM=vt100	setenv TERM vt100
	  export TERM
				to your .cshrc file.
	to your .profile
	file.

I use the C shell and this mechanism works great for me.  Microphone
terminal mode has to has to be set to 'VT102/ANSI.'
