If that is not the actual type of terminal you have, [. . .] ----- However, it *will* start with TERM=xterm This contradicts the doc, which says that the type is stripped, one hyphen at a time, until it finds a name it recognizes (and therefore it should come to xterm and start). Sorry if this one has been fixed. It appears that it might be OK in 22.3, but I haven't been able to find it in the bug list.
