Getting Started with HP-UX

5-8

TERM = (hp)

Respond to this prompt by entering the terminal type.

Every monitor has a terminal type by which HP-UX identiﬁes it. The

“TERM = (hp) “ prompt appears after the “login:” prompt, or after the “Pass-

word:” prompt if you need to use a password.

See Table 5-1 to ﬁnd the correct response to use for your terminal type.

Refer to “Modifying Your Environment” for information on how to conﬁgure your

environment to automatically recognize your terminal type or correct it if it be-

comes corrupted. The tset command will generate a new “TERM = (hp)” prompt

and you can change your terminal type for the this session of HP-UX. If you

choose to modify your environment, the change will remain from session to ses-

sion; however, if you use tset, it will be lost when you log out.
