screen error

When I use "screen -R -T vt220" and run the application , but found that the line becomes the below symbol , can advise how to fix it ? thx


It should be a line :
______________________________________________
| |
| |
|_____________________________________________|


But now become a symbol :

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
& &
& &
& &
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Shalom,

This is common and usually a function of the TERM variable.

try TERM=vt00 or TERM=hp

The application may respond better to a different valuye for -T. It should actually say in its docs what it was written for.

thx reply ,

I tried other TERM setting ( vt320 , vt220 , vt110 ) but still have the same problem , it is strange that one of our servers do not have such problem , they are the same OS , does the problem caused by the language setting ? thx

i guess you should check the LANG setting. also check screen's -U flag.

if you are running terminal emulator software, such as TinyTerm or whatever, it can be the result of the the "font" setting as well.

if you are indeed running such an application, try one of the "term", "terminal" or "FixedSys" fonts.

it seems when use "screen" , there are some setting ( eg. TERM , display ) is changed , is it possible to keep all setting unchanged after use "screen" ? thx
