Do you have it installed correctly? What does 'env' have to say:
Should be something similar to this: (Probably will get trashed in
transmission)

(oops, li#49 is li#24 in my released version)

If it is not in your /etc/termcap file than you can put it in <path>/amiga,
insert this alias, and type 'amiga' when you want to activate (or
invoke it from .login, etc.)
 
alias amiga "setenv TERMCAP path/amiga; set term = amiga"

Note that this is for a csh, but it has been used in many other
environments & with various emacs. Also works with things like ELM
and everything else I know of that uses the termcap facility. If you
still can't get it working, email me & we'll see if something can't
be done.
