changing terminal type

I think the best way to change environment variables is to have a line in the .profile for each user that defines its terminal type. The line would look like this:

export TERM=vt100

There is also a tset command you can use as well, but I don't use it. Here is a link describing the use of tset in the .profile:

If this is not defined as an environment variable, SCO assumes you want to use scoansi terminal type.
