If your /term is the 32 column screen, then this is a bug I've not been 
able to squash. There are two choices left to you until the bug can be 
found: 1) make /term a 40 or 80 column screen, 2) remove the three lines 
from your Startup file. Execute at least one iniz w(#) from the 
keyboard, after which a script file with your three lines will work.

 From my point of view (1) is the only reasonable choice for the two.
