Jason asked:
     
Would this pseudo-code be the "correct" implementation?
     
when Home is pressed:
   -- This part is not in spec.
   if currently in field
     if not at beginning of field
       move to beginning of field
       return to caller
     endif
   endif
   -- The rest is in the spec.
   if at home position
     send record backspace
     return to caller
   endif
   move to home position
   return to caller
     
     
     My understanding of 'normal' behaviour:
     
     When the display unlocks for a read, the cursor location is the home 
     position, wherever it happens to be.  If the user presses the Home 
     key:
     
       if the cursor is not at the home position
         move the cursor to the home position
       else
         send the Home CA (CF?) key to the host
       endif
     
     There is no facility in normal 5250-land to move the cursor to the 
     start of a field using the Home key; the back-tab key does this 
     instead.
