DFU still isn't working for me, though STRSST works again.

Something I notice having a look at the log is that all the data
fields, including the one where the cursor should start, have bypass
set.  Could tn5250 be noticing this after the cursor is positioned
there, and moving it to the first (only) non-bypass field then?

The problem I have is with fields that need to be filled completely.
This is especially noticable with single-character fields in DFU.
0.15.8 fixed this a bit, since I can now tab out of the FER state, but
pressing Field Exit incorrectly erases the last character in the
field.

I get this with UPDDTA on a simple physical file containing a one
character field.
