Good evening, all,

I have a problem with an account while running
in the shell.  When I do 'sh.hpbin.sys -L' I get:

tput: Unknown terminal "hp2392a".
tabs: Unknown terminal "hp2392a".

After this, from the shell/ix prompt, I can't use
more, or vi, among others.  I get the same kind of
error, about unknown terminal.

This all works fine from several other accounts,
but not from this one.  I've compared capabilities,
permissions, UDC's, etc, and I can't find a difference.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look
at?  I've probably overlooked something REALLY
obvious here, or at least I'm hoping so.

Thanks,
Scott - sorry if the above doesn't make sense, it's
        been a looong day, with a lot of coffee, heh-heh (tm).
