 I still have the problem, but only with bash -- at least things like
 tset, reset, more, jove, vi, etc. no longer cause this error.
 
 : eddie; echo $TERM
 xterm
 : eddie; printenv TERM
 xterm
 : eddie; printenv TERMCAP
 : eddie;
 
 Even when I would set TERM=screen.xterm-256color, I had the issue with
 bash, but because tset & co. & other curses things don't have this issue
 anymore in screen, I don't see a reason to keep it open.  Thank you for
 getting back to me -- much appreciated!  Not really possible for me to 
 revert to 8.1 to try as I have already updated to 9.99.13.
