Well, I finally had a chance to try the latest version...

My observations:

1)  Signed Fields don't work.   Negative numbers will function
    just fine, but positive numbers return invalid values every
    time!  This causes programs to crash with "decimal data
    errors."

2)  It appears to "beep" randomly when displaying a screen.
    Some screens always beep, others don't, I can't find any
    rhyme or reason to it.  I haven't actually tried it on a
    screen thats SUPPOSED to beep... only on those that are not.

3)  At "random times", I'm having lines "revert" in SEU.
    I'll try to make changes to a line of source code, while I'm
    typing the changes, everything shows up just fine.  When I
    hit enter, the source line reverts back to what it was before
    I changed it.  (VERY DANGEROUS!!)  Again, I haven't been able
    to find a pattern of when it does this, or why...

4)  The behavior of the END key has changed.   When I hit END it
    goes to the very last character in a field, rather than the
    last non-blank character.   This isn't necessarily "wrong",
    since I know many 5250-class terminals that work this way,
    however I really don't like this :)  It makes the end key
    completely useless to me.  The way it USED to be worked a
    whole lot better!

5)  I still am able to consistently get Assertion Failed errors,
    causing the emulator to core dump in UPDDTA, wasn't sure if
    you worked on this or not, as its an old problem that was
    previously reported, but I thought I'd let you know that its
    still a problem :)

Anything I can do to help?  Let me know.
