Heh.. the source code is always the best documentation :) Perhaps we
could persuade Carey Evans to put more of this stuff in the man page?
(The man page currently says that Field+ is +, and that it's the same as
Field Exit... which isn't quite right... C-x is Field+, C-k
is field exit. They are very similar, but field exit doesn't change a
negative number into a positive number like field+ does)

Field- is actually two keypresses... it's Escape followed by m. (This
one is in the man page, but you have to know that 'M-m' means Esc M)
Again, the version of XTerm in CVS has this set for you. If you wish
to set it yourself, you'd do this:
<Key>KP_Subtract: string("\033M") \n\
So you see... \033 is the octal value for ESC. And M... is M. :)
The result will be interpreted as Field- by tn5250...
