Re: Why is TERM=vt100 on the console?

Sorry for the later answer. This mail got sorted wrong in my inbox. And 
sorry if I put another log on a fire that had all but dies out, but I 
think my comments are important here...

I assume by "terminal program", you mean a program that runs in a 
terminal, and not a program that implements a terminal.

I hadn't seen fish before, but I decided to check it out because of your 
claim, and I am happy to report that fish uses curses for all its 
terminal handling, and it works just fine in a vt100. Why didn't you try 
it before claiming it didn't?
