I found a workaround for the Textfields inconsistency accross Novell,
Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms. Just make the Textfield size property
larger. Developing on Windows NT, I made my Textfields just large enough
(with the -size property) to display the $Textfield->MaxLength() number of
characters (using a Courier New fixed font). When you run the same program
under Windows 95 or Novell, you lose the leftmost character(s). So to be
cross platform compatible, I made the Textfield -size property significantly
larger than was needed under Windows NT. For example, I set -size => 100
instead of -size => 75 for an 8 character field. Hope this helps someone.
