[RndTbl] shell/term zealots, any ideas?

[Sean Cody]

VT220 or xterm.

I avoid xterm-color as it frequently gives me grief on non-linux environments (when coming from a Windows client).
I also don't make much if any use of terminal colouring.

My mac apparently defaults to xterm-256color.

xterm is a pretty safe bet, IMHO.
