With the new backspace handling, if you tab to the beginning of the next field 
and
press backspace, it will put you at the last character of the current field.
I realize that those two keys instead of one might ruin a person's day :) but
that's what I have used for years (never had an "End" key mapped anywhere before
tn5250, I always mapped "End" to be "New Line").
