Re: [LINUX5250] Destructive backspace, keyboard mapping and displaycolors

Ummm... those aren't "lock ups of the client".  In a 5250 terminal, when
you hit an invalid key, you have to press "error reset" to continue.

In tn5250, error reset is (by default) the left-control key.  You can
also use Ctrl-R.
