No tset program either?

Anyone having problems with this doesn't really have a properly set
environment. But this should do it:

setenv LINES 24
setenv COLUMNS 80

or 

LINES=24
COLUMNS=80
export LINES
export COLUMNS

Please give feedback on this, because I will put it in an FAQ.

Alternatively you could just uninstall Term::ReadKey.
