How is your terminal specified?  (are you setting $TERM to vt100 - that's
the first place I'd look).  VT100 descriptions usually contain box characters
(in terminfo, that's described by smacs, enacs, rmacs and, of course acsc).

It's possible that the wyse60 doesn't do box characters, or is not set
up to do it.  I see in ncurses that it supposedly does in wyse60 mode,
though the mapping isn't vt100-style there. (I'd check that in any case by
running vttest, which contains a couple of screens that do use box characters,
e.g., menu entries 2 & 3).  There's a copy of vttest at
        http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/vttest/vttest.html
