Well...
Perhaps pawing through /etc/profile _might_ be edifying.
You can cheat by:
cd /etc
find . -type f -print | while read F ; do grep TERM "${F}" && echo "${F}" ;
done
to find out where this can be getting set. It might even be somewhere
under /etc/defaults but don't quote me on that.
Mind you, I don't currently have access to BFI (Big Fast Iron, either a
zSeries or an S/390) at this point so YMMV.
A long, long time ago when there were many, many deviants of Unix, I tended
to paw through various /etc and /usr/include files to pick up tricks. Man
pages gave some hints but the actual _structures_ you need for ioctl() and
fcntl() calls were a bit more entertaining :-) ...
