filePro and Anzio Lite?

I just don't get this.  Enough here use fP and Anzio...maybe someone can
help me out.

With the latest Anzio, I'm using SCOANSI (post-5.0.6) emulation.

On the SCO side, I'm using tcsh.  Nothing extraordinary there.  I set TERM
to scoansi and PFTERm to ansi or cansi.  Either way, I get the same result:

I start 'p'.

I enter the requisite password for this system, I get runmenu.

I exit runmenu.

When I'm back at the command line, my typing is double-echoed, I can back
over my prompt with backspace, and the colour gets screwy -real- fast if I
even try to use vim to edit .tcshrc to try to change something.  Sometimes
it comes out of fP messed up.

Everything is fine before I come out of runmenu.

My 'p' is just the script, and it looked stock.  SCO 5.0.6a with various
and sundry patches.  fP is 5.0.something.  Last I -looked- it was .7 but
it may have been updated.

This is -supposed- to be a rock solid combination--fP, SCO, and Anzio.  I
finally get around to trying to work with the combo, and it acts absolutely
abysmally.  And the thing where you change -nothing- in Anzio's settings
and it wants you to re-save them when you exit is getting really old.

I'm actually really sorry I bought Anzio at this point.  I was having
better luck using xterm with PuTTY, to be honest.  Try and do it "right"
and it's breaking all over the place.

Okay, which piece do I have wrong?  None, of which I'm aware.  But someone
please point out the obvious and tell me what I did wrong because I don't
have the patience to fight this blasted software.  I already tried for
20min, and it's going beyond the point of diminishing returns.  Using stty
sane didn't help.  Echoing the vt* escape reset code of ^[c didn't help.
Nothing helps except shutting down Anzio and trying again.  I don't call
that a solution.

Someone please point the way.

(A very irked and frustrated...)
