Subject: User command


After all these years I am finally trying to use the USER command and
something is wrong.

I am running rclerk version: 5.0.08R4
The OS is: SCO_SV aljex 3.2 5.0.6 i386

I am trying to establish the tty of the user to create a unique filename so
the processing table says:

user inp="tty"
tt=inp
show "@" & tt

the result of the show statement is:

?[24;70H?[0m?[37m?[40m?[0m?[37m?[40m?[2J?[H?[0m?[37m?[40m?[2J?[H?[1;1H?[0m?[
37m?[40m?[2J?

Interesting but I expected something like "/dev/ttyp23"

Anyone know what is wrong?

Anyone have another way to establish the tty during processing?  I know I
can set it into the environment but that takes forethought.

Howie
