There are issues between dselect and Terminal.app. A workaround is to enter the following command tcsh users:setenv TERM xterm-color bash users:export TERM=xterm-color before you run dselect. You may want to put this in your startup file (e.g. .cshrc | .profile) so that it gets run all of the time.
