What *is* it? :) % printenv TERMCAP What would that give you? I don't think the problem is Fink. I think you have a TERMCAP setting that Terminal.app doesn't know how to handle, or something along those lines. % grep TERMCAP ~/.* What would that give you? Are any of your .dotfiles trying to make a setting here that could be failing? .cshrc or .login maybe? If the grep turns anything up, maybe you can find & comment out the offending lines, then try opening up a new terminal window to see if it works better. > [localhost:~] thoems% clear > 'vt100': unknown terminal type. ...I'm surprised by that error, and don't know what to make of it. Terminal databases confuse & scare me though, so maybe it means little. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
