You can always try "eval $(resize)" to set the terminal size correctly. TERM
needs to be set to xterm....

My personal preference is to bring the cygwin* entries from my
cygwin box over to the box in question, in my local directory.
Then I do the setenv (I use bash, so its more like
'export TERMINFO=~/terminfo'), and then I just telnet, or
ssh into the box I want to use. The cygwin terminal type seems to
work just great.....
I have done this on an HP-UX and on a debian linux box.

(using cygwin 1.3.2)
Hi,
I know I've seen similar things like this before in this list, but none of
the solutions seem to be working for me....
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get the rxvt or cygwin
terminal or something else to work correctly when rsh-ing to UNIX? Am I
doing something wrong (probably)? Could anyone steer me in the right
direction?
I've been trying for quite some time now to use cygwin terminal and/or rxvt
and/or xterm for rshelling to the Irix, sun, and linux boxes in my facility.
I thought rxvt would be the answer, but I still go through hell trying to
edit files on the remote system. In rxvt (x11 and standalone), and xterm
usually, I end up with either spurious characters, improper cursor
placement, or only half a page, not always initially, but eventually.
Or, if I work through these problems, and log out of the remote machine,
then the local session is screwy (often refusing to scroll). as long as I
don't launch vi or man, I'm usually ok...
examples of things I've tried are: in a local rxvt window:
(on local cygwin box)
setenv TERM rxvt-cygwin
tset -s rxvt-cygwin
rsh (UNIX or Linux box)
setenv TERMINFO ~/.terminfo (previously setup using terminfo-src-5.2-4)
setenv TERM rxvt-cygwin
tset -s rxvt-cygwin
results here are a bit better than using xterm, but I still have a hard
time getting through a file using vi.....
I searched out google "terminal setup rxvt site:cygwin" an "ncurses remote
terminal site:cygwin" and many permutations of those without coming up with
a solution that seemed to work. What am I doing wrong?
thanks for your time:
Bruce Dobrin
