Hello,
   This sounds like a simple problem of there not being a termcap (or 
terminfo) entry for tvi925's. 

Unfortunately, knowing a tvi925's once having had one on my desk, there's 
another problem in that the require a space on the screen to change video 
attributes (reverse video) and Pine doesn't work with these terminals in 
the normal node.  The screen painting gets all scrambled.  The Pine 
Tech Notes have a solution for this and includes a termcap entry that 
should work. 

There's also the problem that the arrow keys on these terminals don't 
work because the send control key sequences that Pine uses for some of 
it's commands.  There's no real work around for these.

I believe most of these problems occur with Wyse60's too.
