Oh!  That's a silly gnome thing.  Newer version of Gnome even pop up a
dialog
asking you if you want to dump core (ick!).  There's some standard Gnome
command-line switch to change that (an ugly note - do --syntax or --help
and
you get the generic ones that gnome supplies by default *sigh*).

Hummm...  lib5250 doesn't handle the K_FIELDPLUS event.  We've never
noticed
because we've never had a real Field+ key (the + key in a numeric field
is
kinda' a half-breed).  Updated tn5250 in CVS, enjoy.

Me neither, I prefer my enter key to _do_ something.  I just needed an
excuse
to add a +bassackwards switch to tn5250 <g>
