New Linux Install with terminal response issues.

[Peter.Higgins]

On a new RedHat install, I am getting a lot of special characters
For instance when I type  the following, the replies are unintelligible.
I do not see an term=ansi /export term in the instructions.  Would that help?

->LOAD STARTUP
Program 'STARTUP' does not exist
->/
->LOAD "STARTUP
Error #12: File does not exist (or already exists)
Last file accessed STARTUP
->/
->

Solved it. 
I messed up the curl download and displayed the install on the console by accident.
Terminal in SSH account was VT100 which worked until I got the file downloaded and did the new install. Changed the account terminal to Linux and it made the display readable.
