.telnetrc

I can’t get telnet to read .telnetrc. The option to do so appears to be
turned off; there is an undocumented variable “skiprc” which you can set,
but of course it is lost when you exit telnet. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Kevin

And the answer is:

  • There is apparently no documentation on .telnetrc format in the QNX 4.25
    docs

  • .telnetrc is not read until a connection is made to a server

  • .telnetrc has the format shown in

http://www.fys.ruu.nl/DU/Tru64_5.0/HTML/MAN/MAN4/0068____.HTM

which is not simply a list of telnet commands, which is what I was trying.
