NAME

       telnetrc, .telnetrc - Specifies setup commands for a telnet session

SYNOPSIS

       $HOME/.telnetrc

DESCRIPTION

       The .telnetrc file contains the setup information for a telnet session.	It is a hidden file in your home directory and must be readable by
       the user logging in.

       The file can consist of multiple entries for each remote host to which a user can connect.  A remote host entry consists of multiple lines.
       The first line is the name of a remote host. The subsequent lines must begin with blank spaces, and contain telnet subcommands.	These sub-
       commands are processed as though they were typed in manually. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are comment lines.	See telnet(1)  for
       a complete list of telnet subcommands.

       To specify subcommands that apply to all systems, create an entry, using the word "DEFAULT" as the system name, and specify the telnet sub-
       commands in the subsequent lines.

EXAMPLES

       The following shows a sample .telnetrc file:

       # Beginning of telnetrc file # Default subcommands that apply to all systems DEFAULT
	  environ undefine USER # First system entry system1
	  set echo
	  toggle crlf # Second system entry system2
	  set echo
	  mode line
	  toggle crlf

FILES

       User-customized telnet startup values.
