display setting

ah ok, if you are simple using telnet to use vi and assuming you are in a k shell

export TERM=vt100

then you should be able to use vi, cant run GUI tools though, sorry but you need an X emulator for that. There are probably some free ones around
try this

When I do export I get this error
Please help

export TERM = vt100
ksh: =: is not an identifier

no spaces are allowed

export TERM=vt100

not

export TERM = vt100

it worked
thanks a lot
