This question concerns console terminal behaviour.

For some time I have been attempting to get MS FoxPro
for SCO Unix running under FreeBSD. I have got most
aspects running acceptably with the exception of the
console behaviour. The symptoms are as follows: FoxPro
starts up normally and everything appear as it should
be. However when I type commands in the command window
the typing appears in white characters on a black
background, not the normal colour pair. On pressing
[Return] the typed input appears in the normal colour
pair at the left side of the screen on the next line
down, the cursor returns to the command box in the
normal colour. No output from foxPro in response to
the command is observed. FoxPro is running however as
pressing [F10] then [Return] results in the [System]
menu dropping down as normal.

On terminals and in an xterm the behaviour is normal.
I'm running a fresh standard install of 4.7 with
GENERIC kernel. The hardware is a standard PC running
an AMD k6-2 300 cpu. I am using a terminfo entry,
reproduced below, kindly supplied by Peter Elsner,
which I understand works perfectly for him.

My questions are these:
1. How should I research and diagnose this problem?
2. Is this question sufficiently described?
3. Where else might I find information and advice on
this problem?

Thank you for your attention, regards, Michael Green
