I have look in toswin2 source code you can find how it work in environ.c

When launch a prog, toswin2 made a new env in function "normal_env()"
for this it take AES env then correct or add some env for it like TERM
if emulation is VT52 it should put TERM=tw52 if emulation is VT100 it 
put TERM=tw100
So if you not find any diffrence this is probably that in your AES env 
TERM is already with tw52, that is not correct it should be to st52
this is probably define in mint.cnf or perhaps in your aes config file. 
I have test it on MyAES, in my config for ".prg" software TERM=st52
and for ".tos" software I have TERM=tw52, this was test with "sysinfo" I 
have rename it in tos or prg for this.
