No full-screen software can be used with the terminal program that comes
with the IBM-PC.  It doesn't provide any escape sequences for such
things as cursor positioning, as far as I know.  You should purchase a
terminal emulation package, which would probably emulate some well-known
terminal (VT100 is a common terminal to emulate), and then tell Unix
that you are that type of terminal.
