What's wrong:
Running tn3270 in an xterm (talking to MITVMA), tn3270 toggles the
Application Cursor mode (ctl-center button menu) to `on'. This gives
the *wrong* output from the cursor arrows (they cause MITVMA to beep).
[This noted on the VS2/6.0R also.]
What should have happened:
The cursor keys should generate codes that move the arrows remotely
(which *does* happen if you click off that selection; if the xterm is
*not* in Application Cursor mode, the arrow keys *do* move the
cursor.)
