Is there anyway to change the Terminal type once you have 
connected to a shell account??  I am dialining into the servers
at work and trying to run vi, and irc, but they both say
dumb terminal doesn't have full screen capabilities or something
of that nature.  is there anyway i can set it to VT100 or 
something that would allow full screen editing???


Thanks in Advance

Chris Dupuy
