Hi,

I wanted to use DSL to ssh to UNIX server at work and edit programs etc. While it works fine on one server, on the other I get the warning
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
When I try to use pico I get the following response
Sorry, I don't know anything about your "rxvt" terminal.

Can I use some other terminal (myDSL) or make any change in my .bashrc file to bypass this issue?

Adding

setenv TERM "xterm"

in the servers .cshrc file makes this problem disappear.
