The patch that Jay provided a few weeks ago to prevent my "missing fields" problem 
when connecting to an S/36 running in emulation under the AS/400 works great.  I've 
found another, minor, bug which seems to appear on exactly the same screens as the old 
bug did -- keypresses which result in the screen being sent back (like Enter, F1-F12, 
etc.) are not buffered across screens.  Other keys are buffered correctly.

Hmm, I'm not sure I'm using the right words for all of this, so I'll try to be really 
pedantic... for an example, say I'm in POP's library browser, and I decide to edit the 
library member TORDHP.  I type:
?TORDHP<enter><down-arrow><down-arrow><down-arrow>E<enter>
(ie, move to TORDHP in the directory listing, move the cursor to the field in front of 
TORDHP, enter "E" for edit)
If I type this quickly enough that I've pressed <enter> the second time before the 
screen has come back from the first time I press <enter>, then it's as if I hadn't 
pressed enter the second time -- the <down-arrow>'s and the "E" have been buffered, 
but Enter has not.  If there are more keys, it still follows this pattern -- eg, if I 
quickly type "a<enter>a<enter>a<enter>", tn5250 acts as if I had just typed 
"a<enter>aa".  And as I said, it seems to happen on the same screens as the other bug, 
so it seems likely that it has to do with the incorrect MDT.  Unless the screens are 
wrong another way.

I'm using the latest CVS version of tn5250.
