TERM settings on D3 7.5.4 NT

[sh]

We just ungraded to D3 NT 7.5.4 and we're having a problem with the TERM
settings.

I have the following TERM settings in the PIBS file for my port:

79,24,0,1,1,8,132,44,vp

When I log in, I get the following screen:

11:26:08 05 Jan 2009
Enter your user id:
user password:
Term setting: 79,24,0,1,1,8,132,44,vp

[1301] The Speller is off.
md password:

So far, so good. But when I complete the login and do a TERM, I get the
following:

terminal name: VP
product name: VIEWPOINT
terminal width: 79 printer width: 132
depth: 24 depth: 44
lineskip: 0
lf delay: 1
ff delay: 2
back space: 8

Notice the "ff delay" is set to 2 rather than the 1 it should be set to.

My USERS file only contains a TERM-TYPE command, which should pick up
the PIBS setting (which it seems to do). I also have no resetting of the
TERM in any logon procedure that I know of, yet somewhere the "ff delay"
is being reset to 2.

I've also done "SET-TERM 79,24,0,1,1,8,132,44,vp", but when I log off
and log back on, it again sets the "ff delay" to 2.

Like I said, this only started in D3 NT 7.5.4. Is anyone else
experiencing this issue? Is it me or is it a bug?

Hi there,

Our USERS file entries contain the command r83.setup.

Although we are on D3 NT ver 7.3.6, if you look at the program
dm,bp, r83.setup, you will see an execute command "TERM ,,,,2" which
may be the reason for the issue that you are seeing.

Thanks. That did it. I just placed the TERM-TYPE after the r83.setup and
it worked fine.

I never looked at that program to see what it really did. It was just
one of those things that was there in the background.
