Re: 0.17.1 cursor positioning

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.

+- Another cursor bug: in a window, cursor was positioned at row 1, col 1
