- This is all very nice, but the point is, if I have an xterm, and I have it set
- to a different size than 24x80, I don't want you changing it to 24x80 just
- because you never used an xterminal or a workstation and don't understand what
- set term/inquire does. I would want to shoot you as well, after about the 23rd
- time. You can detect the xterminal unless it is used to set host or telnet to
- you, so the short answer is DON'T put Set Term/Inquire in the system login.
