I think this is a terminal emulation problem.  I believe that dt uses 
vt220 emulation (I'm not sure, tho, haven't used it in a while ;-)

So, you should just be able to do a:

setenv TERM vt220 (for csh)

or 

set TERM=vt220;export TERM  (for sh)

before you start dt, and this should fix the problem I think ;-)

I hope this helps

Later.
