Clarification

Ok

-Logged in as me (my user), i can do what i want and it all works fine (with permissions)

-Logged in as me (my user), all editing programs work fine (vi, emacs, pico,etc)

-Logged in as me (my user), the sudo works fine-i can sudo a command and it will work fine

However:

-Logged in AS ROOT, pico, nano, and emacs don't work :
Error opening terminal: network.

-Logged in AS ROOT, vi works after displaying this message:
E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo
'network' not known. Available builtin terminals are:
builtin_ansi
builtin_xterm
builtin_iris-ansi
builtin_dumb
defaulting to 'ansi'

-Logged in AS ROOT, man works after displaying this message:
Computer:~ root# man who
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
- (press RETURN)

Hopefully this is clearer.
