neither of the TERM settings worked. xterm-color is not installed (not in
/usr/share/terminfo/x) but some xterm-pcolor which dosn't worked
either. the xterm-5250 definitions are existing in the above path. do
i have to do something else with these definitions?

i am running basically slackware distribution but setup completely by
hand basing on slackware 4.0. my kernel is of version 2.2.12. my
tn5250 version is 0.15.7 which i installed from source.
should i have a TERMINFO environment variable?
