Re: Cursor positioning in latest CVS version

This happened to me when I did not do a clean re-build after applying
the macro patches.

i.e. if you have a compiled version of TN5250, then do a "cvs update"
to get the patches, then make the new version, the cursor problem happens

If you wipe out all of the tn5250 sources, check them out fresh, and build
the emulator, this cursor bug does not happen.

At least, that's been my experience so far.
