This is related to the terminal definitions.

Immediate workaround:

run:

  TERM=vt100

(or 'set term=vt100' on tcsh)

Gives you almost all of what you need, and is defined just about anywhere.

What is your current value of TERM? ('echo $TERM')

BTW:
The terminfo definition file of xterm is /usr/share/termonfo/x/xterm
