| Incomplete Termcap Entry Hello, each and every time I try to run vi or pico through the command line, I get the same response: Incomplete Termcap Entry and then its right back to the command prompt - this only happens on my regular user account, in my admin account I can use vi or pico fine. What might be causing this? How can I resolve it? What in gods name IS an "incomplete termcap entry"

| you may have either the TERMCAP environment variable set env |grep TERMCAP or, you possibly have a local termcap file and probably dont ls ~/.termcap You really shouldn't have either unless you have a reason to. |

| Hey, that's good that it fixed it. I guess the positive aspect of Apple's installer updating anything it pleases is that junked up files will get repaired sooner or later.

 Define 'junked up' I have 'junked up' sendmail by installing Postfix - so of course, every reinstall/update borks my Postfix install. I know what you mean though.
