Hi Sunmanagers,

I am having a problem adding a crontab entry. When I type in "crontab
-e"
I get the following:

# crontab -e
421

And it just sits there. I believe this is linemode for vi.
But I have exported the term variable for TERM=vt100

What else do I need to do to get full screen mode for this?

John
