Here’s my illustration of the problem:

I first do `set TERM=dumb` which forces Julia into Basic REPL mode. Neither the Pkg or Help modes work as you experienced.

If I do `set TERM=` and then press enter. This sets the variable to an empty string. I clear the `TERM` environmental variable and then Julia functions as normal, allowing me to access the pkg and help modes as normal.
