1.  Create a new directory to put the source in (so you don't confuse it 
with anything you already have) and then change to that directory:

        mkdir newdir
        cd newdir

2.  Checkout the source from cvs:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/tn5250 login
(that should all be on one line but it wraps.  just press 'enter' when 
prompted for a password)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/tn5250 
co tn5250
(again that should all be one long command.  Note that it is different 
than what is on the project page at sourceforge.)

Once you have the source, prepare the patch by copying the bottom half 
of Scott's post starting with the line that says "Index: ChangeLog" up 
to the last line (not including the trailer added by midrange.com) into 
a file somewhere, possibly called testreq.patch.  Then apply the patch 
like this:

patch -p0 < testreq.patch

That should do it.  If you can't get this to work, send me an email and 
I'll prepare a tarball with the patch applied for you.
