I help maintain several VM/CMS systems, as well as Irix ones.  Thus I use
tn3270 a LOT.  I like the 43x80 screen, but it takes FOREVER to drive the
cursor around.  `keywarp` causses too many overruns.  I have just re-read
the man page, and set wordtab, wordbacktab, and fieldend to some keys,
which helps some.  Some "real" 3270s had double-speed cursor movement if
you pressed shift or alt or something.  Anyone have any hints?

     On another note: How can I disable the "press Delete 2 times to dis-
connect and exit tn3270" behaviour?  I'm ALMOST completely trained to use
^D, but I still mess up once a week.  When I'm in a hurry.  Not friendly
behaviour.  Help?
