When FER is set, only certain keys are valid. The ones I know of are
arrow keys, TAB, BACKTAB, BACKSPACE, ENTER, FIELD EXIT, FIELD +. (This
was tested on a 3487.) The odd thing about the "real" terminal is left
arrow which doesn't move the cursor, all other arrow keys do. I guess
it moves left back into the field.
In tn5250, RESET, left arrow, TAB, BACKTAB, BACKSPACE and FIELD EXIT
clear the FER. There is something wrong with FIELD + (don't know if
it's the last patches from CVS that I got today or if it was like
that). From display.c I think it was intended that FIELD+ and FIELD-
reset the FER.
I added K_ENTER to my display.c and it seems to work well. I don't know
how to fix up arrow, right arrow, down arrow, FIELD+, FIELD- (if FIELD-
should really work - it doesn't on my "real" terminal).
