Change to vt100

Hello.
when i login to my application on HP-UX machine via PuTTy, I am not able to use function keys. But same problem does not exist with another login. I checked .profile and found that for problem account TERM is not set as vt100. I have given below statement at bottom of .profile :
TERM=vt100
export TERM

Still, I am not able to use function keys and after logging , when i echo for TERM. It shows blank and not vt100.

Could you please advice ~ How to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Hi,

Check the shell that you are login to

grep /etc/passwd and check the shell for both accounts.

Hi, putty is a kind of xterm emulator, you can reconfigure it to vt100 with putty configuration Window: Connection --> terminal-type string

by default if we dont set any term using putty, it sets xterm, howeveri tried setting it manually to vt100 and it works fine, put in an echo statment before or after the export is done and see if it get displayed just to make sure your .profile is running.

On PuTTY configuration, you may setthe keypad and Function keys under Terminal /Keyboard
