terminal in Centos5.10

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

When using the terminal icon in CentOS 5.10 (the one on the desktop) - it's
TERM is set to xterm

when I execute j to get filePro menu - I get all the garbage characters
around border etc....

Typically we use Putty via SSH to login, so it's no big deal...but I am
accessing from the gnome desktop on a backup server to look at some things
and it's driving me crazy with the ugly screens
Also, F keys don't work, etc......

Tried looking around but all I could find were things using emulation
software like putty, etc

thanks
