Jay,

The only thing that will force any company to follow a standard is to have one
well defined and used by many of their customers. I also agree with your
comments about the environment being set for TERM based on who logs in. The
TERM should be attached to the device while '.login' should be associated with
your password file OR something along those lines. Obviously the way it is done
now is not right. Rather than only identify the problem we should try to offer
a solution. This is one area where the C/C could be useful.

Frank
