The remote host's $TERM variable is in fact xterm.  When I connect to
the screen session the $TERM variable is 'screen'.  I think it's
because I'm opening a new ssh session in each screen window.  Not a
huge deal; I mainly use this for short commands, and if I need to run
something longer I just write it all out in a text editor and paste it
into the terminal.
