shell terminal is not fully functional, octave, term

Hello I am trying to switch from Matlab to Octave and octave-mode.el allows me to use it from Xemacs; I already contacted the maintainers about the following problem, but did not receive any feedback so far. The problem is connected with the shell buffer in Xemacs. In the so called inferior octave mode I use the help command, say help deconv I obtain help deconv WARNING: terminal is not fully functional^M ^M- (press RETURN) And the whole *Octave Inferior* buffer is un usable. I presume it has to do with the fact that the "shell" command is using a simplified terminal. I tried to do the same by not starting the octave inferior shell but M-x shell octave help deconv And got the same result. Then I tried M-x term but this is much worse the prompt is distorted and when I executed octave *nothing* happened. Anybody can help?
