DFU still doesn't position the cursor correctly!  Do an UPDDTA on your
favorite file...   in TN5250, the cursor appears on the "Format:" line.
Everywhere else, it appears on the line that contains either "*RECNBR"
or the first key to the file.

It does appear to resume from SNDBRKMSG correctly, tho...  so it looks
like you're getting there :)

Interesting.   The only files that have the same name between the two
are "XTerm" and "README".  And the "README" in the linux directory 
doesnt look like its even designated as something to install.

On my RedHat box, it installs the Linux version of XTerm, not the freebsd.

Tho, it is certainly confusing that it installs the FreeBSD README and
us.5250.kbd into /usr/local/share/tn5250/   Its also confusing that it 
installs us5250.map, uk5250.map, when installing on the FreeBSD box.

I agree that this should be improved upon! :)


Another thing that I should probably bring up:

When I do a "make" under FreeBSD it fails with this message:

     gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g -O2 -c getopt.c
     getopt.c:35: config.h: No such file or directory 

I can fix the problem quite easily by editing "getopt.c" and commenting
out the #include <config.h>  line.   But I wonder why this is happening?
config.h is too generic of a name to be a standard system include file,
so what the heck is it looking for?   On my redhat box, it appears that
theres a config.h in the tn5250/src directory... but not on FreeBSD.
That seems weird to me... why would that be different?

Both are freshly retrieved from CVS.

Any ideas?
