I'm back in the office now, and can respond more to this:

Wrong! I don't see a "[" (left square bracket) there. I see
   Escape one two ell 4
which makes no sense at all. Either you're not telling us PRECISELY what
is in the file, or your file is VERY messed up.

According to the filePro manual I have from STN, Inc., page 140, GL is
described as "left tick". Octal 264 (which "\264" represents) translates
to hex B4, which on the "DOS/OEM codepage 437" character chart is a
vertical line plus a line to the left. This is reasonable. (The control-A
characters in the book should NOT be included.)

It seems fair to say that your problems are being caused by bad termcap
files. I would recommend installing the ones that were posted earlier,
from a site that works.
