I assume the Anzio Terminal Type is setup the scoansi?

Also, I'm curious as to whether this happens when running under ksh?  I
don't currently have tcsh installed to try it.

The only time I have had the save settings message happen is when I'm
setting Anzio things from the server side.  For instance, when people login
I set Anzio's title bar to something relative to which location they are
working out of.  Otherwise, I never get the save settings message.  I wonder
if there are some escape sequences being sent that are incorrectly being
interpreted by Anzio.  Just reaching.  Also, I know this is a workaround,
but there is a setting in Anzio to tell it to ignore any changes and exit.

It's unfortunate that you are having problems.  We are using Anzio on
somewhere around 75 machines, most connecting to SCO 5.0.6 boxes.  I've
never had a problem one with the emulation on those.  The only time I've had
to play around with it is when connecting to FreeBSD boxes running FP.

I have had experience with their support in the past, and have been very
pleased with it.  Any problem I've had (which have been few) they have
helped me fix in the past.
