I got two excellent suggestions about this problem.  I tried Bob's 
suggestion about the termcap.  It made no difference in the display.

I also got a suggestion from both Bob and Craig about checking the LANG= 
  setting in Yast.  I found it and the LANG was set to English (US) but 
on the detail page it had UTF-8 encoding checked.  Well, the yast 
graphics displayed crappy also, so I unchecked that setting.

After yast did it's thing, the yast display's graphics were fixed.

However, the filePro graphics were still crappy.

I tried the termcap suggestion in conjunction with the yast suggestion. 
  No better.

xterm made worse graphic issues.  SCOANSI seemed to work the best - by 
best I mean only one bad graphic character instead of two.

I am still stumped.


Well something must still be missing.  I can't figure what.

Thanks for the great suggestions.  Got any more ideas?  ;-)
