Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than 'unknown'

This message is printed by eloqcore (actually the curses subsystem) if your terminal type is invalid (either the TERM variable not set or the terminal is not defined in the terminfo database).

Sorry, I need to know a more specific terminal type than 'unknown'.

This can also happen when you are executing a character based program from the Eloquence IDE (Remote Debug Session). Usually, the TERM variable is defined when you login to the UNIX system. However when using the Eloquence IDE, you are not logging in to the system, you are redirecting the display to the specified tty device. Therefore the TERM environment variable is not set.

You should add a definition of the TERM variable to the debug environment (in the application properties dialog). This provides a space separated list of environment variables and settings which are defined when the debug process is started. For example:
"TERM=hpterm" "HOME=/home/mike"
