I have to do the following.

I login to my UNIX host from two types of terminals

op4x (which is Esprit Opus or some such junk)
and 
some sun workstation (I do not know the exact model etc.)

Now what I want to do is to redefine the keys in .exrc so that all the function
keys, arrow keys and other keys work as they are labelled (which usually do not work ... without map).

What I want to know is how can I get the shell variable TERM. 

When I login from Esprit, the variable has a value of "op4x" and on the 
sun it has "sun". I would like to extract this in .cshrc and copy the 
appropriate file to .exrc

Can somebody give me a simple shell (csh) script (code fragment will do) to 
exatract this stuff?

Thanks in advance.
