The reason it has this problem is because it uses its own special terminal
data files (/etc/joe/terminfo) instead of the standard ones.

This, FYI, is why I sopped using joe. Not only is it buggy if used from a
buggy terminal emulator like windoze telnet, it had occasional bugs running
in an xterm (not screen display, but failure to reset the terminal properly
on exit).
