AIX

I was trying to do a search for this but I guess I wasn't using the right terms. I just installed AIX 6.1 on a new P7 server. The OS seemed to be a success, however now, when I go to 'smitty' I can't use the default commands liek F3, F4. Instead I have to type esc+3 or esc+4.

Anyone seen this before? How can I get it to use the normal commands?

it's probably your terminal settings. check $TERM.

I did:

echo $TERM and got xterm back.

As a work around, I changed the Terminal Keyboard settings to XTerm-R6 and that seemed to have allowed the functions keys to work in smitty. I don't ever remember doing this before, so I would like to know how to fix it still.
