RE: [LINUX5250] Full screen mode

["Sean Porterfield" <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had just noticed the same problem the other day (I haven't used tn5250 in
a while).  It seems to happen more on a slower connection (I'm coming in
over the Internet instead of on the LAN).

Would you classify this fix as a kludge or a real fix?  (It does actually
solve the problem.)  I'm no C guru (I can barely read the language) but it
appears you're checking to see if the window is the size it's supposed to
be, and if not, waiting and checking again.  Is that essentially correct?
(What is the unit of measure for usleep?  microseconds?)

Thanks Scott!  I love the shift left and shift right too.  I didn't even
know CA could do that until someone mentioned it here.  My XTerm didn't
update from CVS, so I just added the two lines manually...
