My //env/root contains no TERM entry.
Ditto with //env/guest etc

What should I have?
(There's nothing about it in .shrc. There is the followin in /vsta/etc/rc:
echo -n vt100 > /env/TERM
echo -n "/vsta/bin:." > /env/PATH
echo -n 'vsta$ ' > /env/PS1
echo -n "-c" > /env/LESS
echo -n PST8PDT > /env/TZ
echo -n /tmp > /env/TMPDIR
echo -n /bin/sh > /env/SHELL

But it seems these aren't taking effect.
Does the init module run /vsta/etc/rc? (Or is it supposed to? :) Or what?
When I run /vsta/etc/rc myself, the problem with less goes away.

Also, I notice that if I do ls //env I get no entry, but if I type ls //env/
and hit tab, I get choices for filename completion. So, sh knows about //env
but ls only knows about /env. Could you enlighten a newbie?

BTW, I notice there's a .rhrc and an rh command, but I have no idea what it
is. (and naturally, i get "unkown man page") Google doesn't know rh either.
