Since GNU Emacs reports "Terminal type dumb" it obviously has not read the TERM environment variable. Or some ELisp code resets it to the dumb value. (getenv "TERM") in *scratch* buffer when evaluated (for example by C-j at the statement's end) should write (echo, copy) into the buffer the value of TERM from the environment GNU Emacs saw when it was launched from it. You can try to cheat GNU Emacs with (setenv "TERM" "xterm") applied in *scratch* buffer or from ~/.emacs. -- Greetings Pete With Capitalism man exploits man. With communism it's the exact opposite.
