I couldn't get to the CVS through my company firewall (bastards)

is there another way to get the new build?

Thanks
Matt

No...  the 5250 newline key moves to the first field on the next line.
Whereas tab will move to the next field on the same line, if there is one.

I've added support for the NEWLINE key into CVS.   To try it out,
checkout a new copy of tn5250 from cvs, and build & install it normally.

then, edit your /usr/local/share/tn5250/XTerm file, and change this line:
        <Key>KP_Add: string("\030") \n\
to read:
        <Key>KP_Add: string("\033N") \n\

And then, the + key on the numeric keypad should be the 5250 newline.

Let me know if it does what you wanted it to...
