Ugh :-( Hope you get it sorted Brendan.

Spot on :-) The only problem I had was with XTerm again. This time the
existing mapping for Home (not shifted) was used regardless of whether the
shift key was used. Moving the line to after the new Shift-Home solved that,
as does just using the default XTerm from cvs (which doesn't have the
unshifted Home mapping) along with Carey's suggestion of removing -tn
xterm-5250 from the xt5250 script.

Thanks again
