joe editor on S2 .. revisited

[Throg]

I'm a brand new S2 user. 4 year veteran S1 user. I monte'd my S2 and got everything working okay. joe editor works marginally. I can create files okay. I can open and edit small files. If I open rc.sysinit, the text is scrambled. When I move the cursor, it only gets worse. It's almost as if ANSI is hosed.
My searches have only turned up works/don't work.
Any ideas?

Try this in bash before running the editor:

export TERM=xterm
export LINES=XX

where XX is your screen length. (My LINES often comes up set to 65, for some reason, though my screen isn't that long.)

I really appreciate your reply and I thought what you suggested sounded right on .. but it didn't work.
Did you have any alternate ideas per chance?

did anyone have trouble getting joe to open the rc.sysinit file.
I copied the rc.sysinit for backup and
as far as i know at the ....
/mnt4/ect/rc.d#
i type
joe rc.sysinit
all i get is
bash: joe: command not fount

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....thanx

Do a little research. Joe is 'broken', but can be easily fixed.

I already know that. I was just mentioning that it's funny how the sleepers script installs joe 'broken'... (not copying joerc to the proper directory).

Anyway, once I fixed that, I haven't had problems with joe.
