When TERMCAP is unset Jed works OK.
TERMCAP can be set to either the name of a termcap file (a file containing termcap definitions for many terminals), or a literal definition for a single terminal. In your case, TERMCAP is defined for very nearly the dumbest possible terminal definition. The fact that Jed works with TERMCAP unset means that it is successfully picking up the system-wide termcap file. You need to find out where TERMCAP is being erroneously set and unset it. It might be in your .bash_profile (or other profile, depending on your shell), or possibly in a system-wide set-up file, such as /etc/profile. >Another problem is that command history keys ( up/down arrows) dont work.

The correct behaviour depends which shell and editing mode you're using, and whether your particular terminal type is supported properly. Please give details.
