Re: Emacs "dumb" terminal question.

[LeAnthony <LeAnthonyRN@gmail.com>]

I attempted the items below, I'm using BASH by the way.  Still getting
the not defined message when I attempt to start emacs.  tset--Q is not
defined.
When I change it to ANSI or VT100 emacs gives me the "dump" message
again"
