  • Subject: Re: 0.17.1 cursor positioning
  • From: Dave McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 15:12:26 -0800

Here's a patch that should fix it.  It's made against the 0.17.1 CVS version 
that
I checked out today.

Considering my checkered history with patches <g>, if the patch isn't made
correctly, I'd appreciate any instruction anyone wants to give.  I'm an AS/400
programmer, not a Unix guy (as is probably obvious :-)

I'll send the same patch for 0.16.1 in a separate msg.
