Re: [cobalt-users] top command

[Duncan Laurie <duncan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are using the telnet.exe that comes with Windows (which i am assuming
you are since your email had the standard MS winmail.dat attachment) then
you need to specify the terminal size and type once you are logged in.

Check the current values by running "stty size", and if it reports "0 0"
then assign values with "stty rows 25 cols 80".  You may also need
to set the terminal type to vt100 by setting the TERM environment variable
with "export TERM=vt100" before it will work.
