'__': unknown terminal type.

Message	'__': unknown terminal type.
Notes	The program cannot clear your screen because it does not know what kind of screen you have. Your "terminal type" is defined in an environment variable called TERM. If you don't know the correct terminal type, you could set TERM to "dumb" which, while it does not define how to clear your screen, might eliminate this message. Try typing "man terminfo" to find out where the database of defined terminal types is located on your system, so that you can choose an appropriate value for your TERM variable.
