There's actually a more fundamental problem - you really need to:
set noglob;eval `set_termcap`
This also tends to be a problem with people trying to use "tset -s" ...
They both spit out "set noglob" commands, but the command isn't accepted
until the entire string is unquoted/escaped, etc., which is too late.
Globbing occurs before command evaluation - thus you get the complaint
about the unmatched quote.
