RE: [LINUX5250] Screen bleeding

The other thing I noticed is that as far as I can tell your code correctly 
identifies fields as continuous and whether they are first, middle, or 
last, sets the MDT flag appropriately, and returns their contents 
correctly to the as/400 (i.e. MDT set on the first field only).  What I 
don't see happening is the contents of the fields being changed in a 
continuous way.  Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but I 
don't anywhere where the contents of fields "flow" into the other 
continuous fields.  Perhaps an illustration will explain what I mean:

Suppose you have a continuous field that has two subfields called cont1 
and cont2.  Let's say each subfield is 5 characters long.  Let's suppose 
that the operator keys data into the fields so their contents are like 
this:

cont1 = "01234"
cont2 = "56789"

Now suppose the operator positions the cursor at the first position of 
cont1 and presses delete twice.  This should delete the two leftmost 
characters from cont1 and the contents of cont2 should "flow" into cont1. 
After pressing the delete key twice the contents of these fields should 
be:

cont1 = "23456"
cont2 = "789  "

I don't see where you are doing this.  Are you?

btw - word wrap is a tougher problem.  I've done a proof of concept 
program that handles it (the very first x5250 release).  We could use my 
proof of concept code and integrate into tn5250.
