RE: Spanish Keyboard Problems

This looks to be a bug in tn5250.  The auto-enter request is processed
before the field is made negative.

Attached is a patch which solves the problem for me.  This patch appears
to work fine when applied against both 0.16.1 and the development sources.

To apply the patch:

cd tn5250  (or cd tn5250-0.16.1)
patch < /path/to/field_minus_auto_enter.patch

Then build & install tn5250 as you normally would.

Jason... can we apply this to CVS? (assuming it looks okay to you)

I'll CC: you guys directly, since sometimes my messages with attachments
don't seem to work across the mailing list...
