a few observations...

Sorry I didn't make this clear before.

Screen *changes* the $TERM environment variable when it starts up. That variable is commonly checked by terminal programs when they are deciding how to display their output. So programs that worked fine when $TERM was not set, or was set to 'Apple Terminal' or somesuch, might stop working under screen.

So adding a line in your .tcshrc to change $TERM back to blank or whatever it was before might fix things.
