Your telnet software doesn't use the necessary termulation.  From the shell type
export TERM=vt100.  Or, to avoid doing this everytime you log into the shell,
add the following to /home/sites/siteX/users/myuser/.profile:

export TERM=vt220 (I think vt100 might also work)

Since it seems you know your way around pico, you can add it there.  But, for
the benefit of the newer Linux users, you could also do:

echo "export TERM=vt220" >> /home/sites/siteX/users/myuser/.profile

Make sure you use ">>" and not ">".  ">>" concactenates "export TERM=vt220" to
the end of the file, while ">" replaces the contents of the file.
