We are transitioning from @MOD 5.5 to VIP 6.1 on Suse Enterprise 10. GUI works great but we have a need for some users to remain in character mode. We use Putty in Xterm mode. By setting TERM=xterm, PROTERM=XTERM we get the desired PRO-IV character emulation. However, when executing the "pro" executable with the OPR and CO/DIV parameters the Transparent Login does not take the user directly to the LOGON TO LINK FUNCTION defined for the user. It appears to stop and you can see GUI START in the upper left hand corner and are forced to press enter a couple of times to get to the LOGON TO LINK FUNCTION. Anyone know how to get the transparent login to work cleanly in character mode on PRO-IV 6.1? Transparent login works fine in GUI mode for the same OPR id.

Thanks Neil. I'd buy a round of Fosters or the big can of your choice if I weren't half way across the world.

No problem. I gather all is well?

Yes, all is well. I couldn't find that trick in any of the documentation. Again, thanks.
