Odd characters when using Vim from the console

If I run Vim from the console and press an arrow key or H, J, K, L, the screen displays 25H or 25L. A few keypresses and the session is unusable. I assume it is a simple setting that's wrong, but cannot find what that might be. This does not happen in a terminal under X.

What do I need to change?
 
try $ set term=value where value should be one of cons25, vt100 or xterm...hope at least one helps :)
