Re: Differences in QP2TERM and SSH (pUTTY)

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.  Perhaps I post in JAVA400 and do some more searching.  I 
thought it was rather strange and couldn't account for the difference.  
At least you see the same thing which is reassuring :-)

Thanks for the clarification on  TTY vs shell.  I wasn't sure how to 
characterize it.  I *knew* puTTY was terminal emulator, it was how it 
relates to QP2TERM that I was struggling with. Also, thanks for the 
'env' command.  Helpful!
