Easytime was created pre-POSIX, but it has POSIX-like characteristics,
such as its terminal interface which is similar to curses, and its
use of the CI TERM variable.

 CI variables are imported into the Shell environment variables. The
reverse is not true -- changes made by the Shell to it's environment
variables do not modify the CI variables.

A suggestion would be to not set the TERM variable in the CI, but to
use /etc/profile or a ~HOME/.profile to set the TERM variable in the shell.


This problem is not a bug in Easytime.

I hope this helps.
