K_HOME is correctly mapped to the termcap 'kh' entry.  When you run
tn5250, what terminal type, keymap, etc. are you using, have you recently
recompiled 5250.terminfo or updated /etc/termcap with the contents of
5250.termcap?

If you produce a tracefile, does it say 'Found string for cap 'kh': '????'
and if so, does it find the same string as specified in your termcap/terminfo
entry?

Tab and reset keys now work in the FER state.  I'll have to look into the
clearing-last-character when I have more time (probably next week).  Oh,
and Backtab as well for good measure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...  I know.  I thought I put it in like three times!  It's
now in CVS.  (I *KNOW* I fixed it a few times, must have been in an installed
version of the script).
