Also, the thing I do that cured a lot of these mysterious problems fo
me is adding this to my .tcshrc file.

if ($term == "screen") then
   unsetenv TERMCAP
endif

Screen tries to insert a big TERMCAP into your environment and it
doesn't play nice at all, particularly with aterm and tcsh.  As long
as I ditch that TERMCAP, everything works great.
