I added code that queries the 3270's geometry when the 'Clear' key is pressed. I guess the clear key is not used often, and it is always the first key i press when connecting to have the screen redrawn. The driver than tells the linux tty layer to resize to the correct dimensions. I also added background color support, support for graphic line drawing characters and fixed a few other bugs, so programs like mc (midnight commander) are now displayed correctly both in TERM=linux and TERM=vt220 configurations. This all has to go now through the review and distributions processes, so it will take a while until it reaches the field. I'm thinking about your tab completion suggestion and other ways how to make the command line a bit easier to handle after this.
