RE: [PLUG] Line drawing characters limitation in screen?`

["Ottey, Daniel William" <Daniel.Ottey@unisys.com>]

I've thought of that.  I've tried setting different TERMs after opening
screen (whose default $TERM=screen), but to no avail:

Export TERM=vt100

Export TERM=xterm (which is the default for my Putty sessions)
http://pics.livejournal.com/dottey/pic/000gpgx6

Export TERM=ascii causes an error when I run yast
/sbin/yast: line 233: 10196 Aborted                 $ybindir/y2base menu
ncurses $NCTHREADS

So evidently ncurses doesn't like "ascii"...

can you add "TERM=vt100" into your login profile, or do you need
TERM=ascii for ascii emulation (if ascii is a termtype)
