Ok, I think I've managed to get all the changes you made merged in with 
many of the changes I've made.  I've committed it all to cvs so check out 
the tree from cvs again.

Note that I've added a method to the terminal object that allows it to 
tell the session whether or not the terminal supports the enhanced 5250 
protocol.  That way even if you have +enhanced in your tn5250rc file your 
session won't go nuts if you are using cursesterm or slangterm.

Now I need to think of a better way to tell the terminal "draw this 
window/scrollbar/menu - and here is the relevant data."  Right now I have 
the session calling the various terminal creation methods directly.  But I 
would rather the update display function would "discover" those pieces on 
it's own.

That and menubars are turning out to be a pain in the neck.

Anyway, please tell me if this work helps you or if I need to do things 
differently.
