And I was not consciously aware that there was a $TERMINFO environment setting. Now I am. The way to fix this may turn out to be cluttering my disk space with a .terminfo file, edited to contain only what I need, and set that path in a .login file. Otherwise, a good ISP, panix.com, is being stuubborn, and not realizing that MiNT and Linux both are small kernels with a large number of GNU GPL programs to make them into operating systems. I am workin on that, since I have a problem with the fact that Berkely people stopped maintaining termcap, from the way I read things, and the Atari stuff is in later versions. My ISP runs NetBSD. And, I have a problem not with MiNT, which is mostly fine, but with one of the GNU GPL files that make it into a system.
