Title vedit error: 'vedit.key file not accessed'
Ref. No. QNX.000007915
Category(ies) Utilities, Configuration
Issue We're attempting to use 'vedit' on our QNX4.23A system.  However, the keypad arrows don't work, and displays the error: 'vedit.key file not accessed'.




Solution Change the TERM environment variable in the $HOME/.profile by adding the following line:

export TERM=qansi-m

Also, go to the Vedit website, and get the latest vedit update which is free to QNX RTOS owners. Their website is at:
