Hi Vincent:
And now, back to your question. I'm not sure what is good for
TERM, but I use kermit and, therefore, I use vt100 for everything.
For a brief discussion of setting environment variables in an
Aqua/Application-aware manner see
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CarbonEmacsPackage#toc31
That discussion is about PATH, but hopefully you get the idea;
if you really care about PATH, like I do, then you might be
interested in the following

And other bug fixes that I've noted over the years in Emacs.app
