Did you monkey with the TERM environment variable? It should have been
set to "nansi" in /vsta/etc/rc.

I'm going to create a sample account "guest" in /vsta/guest (actually, the
account exists today, but its home has been /tmp). That account will have
more examples of supporting files like the "sh" profile and _exrc for
"vim". But none of this should be needed if the default environment has
been set up correctly by the boot sequence.
