setting TERM on System Vr2

[David Harrison]

The question:  setting TERM for hardwired terminals.
Now, we are running an HP9000, not quite Vr2 and not the native
OS besides.  However, what it does do is run shell scripts faster
than anything I am familiar with.  So we have a case `tty` in
in /etc/profile, and viola.  For our dialup port the corresponding
case reads:  echo "TERM=\c"
	     read TERM
So, if your shell goes like our HP, that's the easy way to do it.
If your shell scripts are slow, Guy Harris' solution is better.
