Can I use MATLAB through a telnet window?

Sometimes when I use MATLAB through a telnet window, I cannot scroll through the command windows. Sometimes scrolling seems to be disabled when I am using MATLAB. I am telneting from a Windows machine to a UNIX machine running MATLAB.

If you are having trouble scrolling, one solution would be to set the terminal type to be something "less powerful" than a vt100. For example, in csh:

setenv TERM dumb

or in Bourne shell

export TERM=dumb

before running MATLAB.

Another solution may be to use another tool like an SSH client or to use VNC.

Putty is one ssh client that is available for Windows. VNC is another option to use instead of Windows telnet to connect to the UNIX machine.
