In-Reply-To: <199812091421.JAA00299@wlestes.uncg.edu> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" List-Id: Hi, I'm a relative newbie to Linux so may be covering ground that has already been dealt with here. I don't have a linux box of my own as of yet but do have access to a couple on the net. The problem that I'm having is that when I'm connected to one of these via telnet, I'm finding that it's almost impossible to accurately edit any files. I am doing this from dos, with artic Business vision for access. I have used two terminal programs, Cutcp telnet, and Mskermit. i have checked my local and remote terminal settings and to the best of my knowledge, they're both correctly set to vt100. The editor with which I have been working is Pico. The problem is that if I arrow accross a line of text, Artic will not accurately track the cursor. As I arrow, characters are spoken; However the last character spoken, is usually not the last character upon which the cursor is resting. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might get around this? I've resorted to downloading files to my machine, editing them and then uploading them to the linux box once again. Any help would be appreciated. REgards, Al Regards, Al
