screen: Term

 
 6.5 Term
 ========
 
  -- Command: term term
      (none)
      In each window 'screen' opens, it sets the '$TERM' variable to
      'screen' by default, unless no description for 'screen' is
      installed in the local termcap or terminfo data base.  In that case
      it pretends that the terminal emulator is 'vt100'.  This won't do
      much harm, as 'screen' is VT100/ANSI compatible.  The use of the
      'term' command is discouraged for non-default purpose.  That is,
      one may want to specify special '$TERM' settings (e.g.  vt100) for
      the next 'screen rlogin othermachine' command.  Use the command
      'screen -T vt100 rlogin othermachine' rather than setting and
      resetting the default.
