Yes, my current practice is to precede *on the same line* "TERM=xterm "
 the invocation of ved, xved, etc.:

bill@debian-desktop:~$ TERM=xterm xved

;;; WARNING - PIXMAP FILE NOT FOUND
;;; INVOLVING:  '$usepop/pop/x/ved/bitmaps/src_48.xbm' 
;;; PRINT DOING
;;; DOING    :  runproc 
;;; editing: temp.p, ON LINE 1

or

bill@debian-desktop:~$ TERM=xterm pop11

Setpop
: ved
───┤   1├ ved  (editing: temp.p, 2 lines)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
(I found out recently that setting an environment variable on the same
line as a shell command modifies the environment *for only that
command*; as soon as the command terminates the environment variable
resumes its previous value, sorta like rebinding a variable inside a
LET form in Common Lisp.)

Anyway, I am satisfied that the terminal type issue is resolved, and
thanks to everyone who had info on the issue,

Bill Wood
