You probably want to see/verify your current terminal configuration.
echo $TERM
will display this

Now, I am not sure whether that error message is telling you that you ARE using VT100, or that you want VT100.
So, if not returning VT100 from above command, you may want to set to VT100.
If you are already VT100, more research needed to learn what terminal mode is expected.
