Terminal Characteristics

You can specify your terminal type to Unix if the default is not suitable. To do so in the C shell, enter the command:

 
               		  set term=  (termtype)

where termtype is the name of a terminal type supported on the system. VT100 and VT220 are acceptable terminal types for example. If you always use the same kind of terminal, you may want to put this command in your .login.

Terminal control functions settings can be displayed with the stty command, for example:

 
               		  stty   -a

The format on each machine is different but should indicate approximately the same information.

You can display a description of all of the options reported by stty with the command:

 
               		  man stty
