Hello all

[brent harding]

So when you use hyperterminal or whatever, you can edit files without
sending the character associated with the arrow key to the contents of a
file? Cool. I can edit files just fine at the console, but not in the
telnet program. I always thought there was keyboards and monitors at every
machine just like machines we use at home, I suppose not having them
increases security somewhat. The only way I'd think of editing the files is
to run linux on that laptop, download the file by ftp, and change it and
upload it back, but root can't log in to ftp to upload files in to the
right directory.
