I have a problem with gnu screen.
Computer 1:
open terminal
$ printenv TERM
xterm-color
$ screen
$ printenv TERM
screen
Computer 2:
open terminal
$ printenv TERM
xterm-color
$ screen
$ printenv TERM
xterm-color
Both computers are running Mac OS X 10.6.4, screen version 4.00.03, and similar configuration.
According to screen
its man page:
In each window's environment screen
opens, the $TERM variable is set to
"screen" by default. But when no
description for "screen" is installed
in the local termcap or terminfo data
base, you set $TERM to – say –
"vt100".
In both computers I have the terminfo files for "screen" at /opt/local/share/terminfo/73
Even when I do screen -T screen
I still get the $TERM
variable set as xterm-color
Any ideas?

:then started
screen
and did this:
