Just do this:

1) CRTPF QTEMP/TESTME RCDLEN(1)
2) UPDDTA QTEMP/TESTME

(Don't worry, QTEMP is a temporary library thats seperate for every job
on the AS/400, so you wont affect anyone else)

Cursor Positioning:

What you'll see is that the cursor will be positioned on the line that
starts with "Format: . . . .", whereas in other emulators/terminals , it
would be positioned on the line that begins "TESTME:"

FER:

Tab over to the TESTME: line.   Hit a character, you'll see the FER come
on at the bottom.   Now hit Field Exit (Ctrl-X)...  it wipes out the
character, but shouldn't.

Another bug I just noticed:

If you hit F5 after the FER test above, the emulator crashes, saying:

QUIT(core dumped)


Thanx!
