Thanks Rick, that fixed it. I had been using an old Object Rexx RPM, and
when I changed to Regina, it worked.

I've seen this kind of garbage with other "curses" based apps.
I fear that there's something wrong with the 3.1 and 3.2 builds.
Could be a mis-match in the run-time (especially for curses)
and the executable in the package (the libs it was built against).

Personally,  I recommend rebuilding apps like THE (and Regina).
You're welcome to my build logic (two forms) at

        http://pb.casita.net/pub/the/the-3.2.mak
        http://pb.casita.net/pub/regina/regina-3.3.mak
         -or-
        http://pb.casita.net/pub/cscratch/the.mk
        http://pb.casita.net/pub/cscratch/regina.mk

The former pair are largely stand-alone  (except that THE
needs a REXX interpreter,  for which Regina does nicely)
and are non-intrusive,  not comingled with the op sys.

The latter pair install THE and Regina into their canonical place
but require the CSCRATCH build stuff  (at least "makefile" and
"_generic.mk")  from the same directory.
