Switching to tcsh returns this:
# tcsh
tcsh: No entry for terminal type "xterm"
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
One thing I noticed during the build of tcsh was a warning during
configure that may point to what's going on:
+ cd /openpkg/RPM/TMP
+ cd tcsh-6.14.00
+ /openpkg/lib/openpkg/shtool subst -e 's;termlib curses termcap;termcap
termlib curses ncurses;' configure
shtool:subst:Warning: substitution resulted in no content change on file
"configure"
This substitution I've now removed. But your problems seems to be that
there is no "xterm" entry in /etc/termcap while curses uses termlib
and termlib has an "xterm" entry file under AIX. But retry with the
latest "tcsh" version from CURRENT: it prefers termlib before termcap
and should implicitly solve this problem, too.

Would there be a way to force tcsh to use the ncurses library? bash is
using the one that comes with AIX, but I would think linking to the
OpenPKG ncurses version might make things easier. I'm having the same
problem on HPUX, by the way.
