The option to do this in 0.16.1 is +underscores not -u. The man page
should explain that.

I've never tried a spanish keyboard...
If you want to try the settings for a US keyboard and see how well they
work you can go into the linux/ directory in your distribution, theres a
"README" file that contains information about keyboard mapping. It tells
you that you need to be doing a tic "5250.terminfo" and "loadkeys
us5250.map" and changing your TERM enviornment variable to 5250.
If the US settings don't work, you'll need to create your own spanish
version of these settings. (You can use the US version as an example)
If you do this, please send us a copy of your finished work so we can
include it in the distribution, and other people with spanish keyboards
will be able to use it.
Thanks
