Just a dumb thought... but if you enter VT100 (with capitalization) at

Nah...
Terminal type? [unknown] VT100
tset: terminal type VT100 is unknown
Same thing with other terminal types:
Terminal type? vt52
Terminal type is vt52.
tcsh: No entry for terminal type "unknown"
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.
This is just a shot in the dark, but is the filesystem where the
terminal type database is located mounted at the time of the tset call?
Yes. This happens on a fully up and running syste It's been this way for
years. I never came around to investigate it.
Note that tcsh thinks the terminal type is "unknown", no matter what you
type. The information essentially do not survive to the next "stage".
Also, note that in the case of "VT100", tset complained about it being
an unknown type, while "vt52" (or "vt100") makes tset happy. But the
information is still lost before getting to tcsh.
Ah ok. Well, as I said, just a shot in the dark..
