I would try setting $TERM to xterm, or maybe one of the nsterm-*
terminfos and see if that works at all.

What version of OS X are you using? IIRC, recentish Terminal.app sets
$TERM to xterm by default. Technically, nsterm-* is supposed to be the
right entry, but it tends to be outdated.

In my experience, xterm or xterm-xfree86 is Good Enough (and Apple may
even have tweaked the xterm terminal type within OS X itself to play
even nicer with itself).

Thomas Dickey - you may now commence the public flogging.

Maybe also have a look at:
