Using newcsh with X11R4 xterm

I just installed X11R4 on my DECstation 3100 (Ultrix 3.1).  I'm using
/usr/new/csh as my shell, and when I type <escape> to do file
completion, the line is messed up.  Instead of backspacing over
the ^[ (escape), I get a couple of blanks and then the rest of the
file name.  Sorta like this:

  % ls fo^[  o.bar

Has anyone seen this and figured out how to fix it?  This only happens
in an xterm window; it works fine if I'm rlogged in from  another
host, for example.


Thanks,
