tcsh error message

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hi there --

I am going to be using tcsh as the default for all users on a new HP-UX 11.11 system. Whenever I log into the system I am prompted for the terminal type to use. I normally want to use dtterm or xterm. However, whenever I enter either choice, I get the message:

tcsh: No entry for terminal type "dtterm" or "xterm"
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings

What file(s) should I modify to allow for either terminal type to work? Thanks.

$TERMCAP
that would/could be /etc/termcap

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Andrew,

Check out '/etc/termcap' and:

# man terminfo
