Hey Pete,
Thanks for the help. I guess I am having trouble understanding is
the problem on the PuTTY end or the hosted system end. Would this
happen if I was using some type of other system. I had assumed this
was on the unix side.
So using putty to log into my hosted system. I log in and type tset
-q and get "xterm" and tset -s gives "TERM=xterm". So I think that
emacs should be OK with this setting to run SLIME? I run emacs and
start slime and get the same message.
"emacs: Terminal type dumb..."
When I set the TERM=ansi or TERM=vt100 and export TERM I get the same
error.
On the putty side, the setup in terminal details is xterm. I'm at a
loss.
