Does your DOS box define an environment variable called TERM?  If so,
undefine it before running Emacs, because it causes Emacs to search for a
suitable termcap entry.  (One case where TERM gets defined is when you use
the port of `bash' as your interactive shell.)

If the above solves the problem, but you need to define TERM for other 
programs, edit your DJGPP.ENV file and add there these two lines:

	[emacs]
	TERM=

This will undefine TERM only when Emacs runs.

If the above doesn't help, please post the contents of your environment.
