TERM settings

Hi,

I'm using PuTTY terminal emulator under Windows to connect to Progress on a Linux box.

PuTTY allows you to dynamically resize your screen and this reflects realtime in the rows and columns available in your session.

If I run the progress editor (i.e. pro) with TERM set to 'xterm' the progress session will resize ok but the key mappings are poor (e.g. del key and f3 don't work). Setting TERM to 'linux' solves the key mappings but the screen will not resize (i.e. it stays at the default row/columns).

My Unix isn't strong so I'm guessing protermcap needs editing. Any tips much appreciated.
