after reading the screen's man pages, i understand that dennis is
offering the better solution, bacause it is said:
In each window's environment screen opens, the $TERM vari-
able is set to "screen" by default. But when no description
for "screen" is installed in the local termcap or terminfo
data base, you set $TERM to - say - "vt100". This won't do
much harm, as screen is VT100/ANSI compatible. The use of
the "term" command is discouraged for non-default purpose.
That is, one may want to specify special $TERM settings
(e.g. vt100) for the next "screen rlogin othermachine" com-
mand. Use the command "screen -T vt100 rlogin othermachine"
rather than setting and resetting the default.
So if it was working in solaris 10, my guess is that it is due to the
packaging of CSWscreen, that set TERM by default...
So the behaviour of screen in os2009.06 seems correct.
