#8 Selection behavior

[Salva Carrasco]

Thanks for x3270.

I need some changes to selection behavior, so I downloaded the code and made it myself:
- Show selection dimesions in the status area. (A must have for mainframe programming)
- Move the selection.
- Change the selection (up & left reduce the dimension, instead of expanding the selection start).

Can these changes be added to next version?
Thanks.

I would be happy to look at your changes, provided you would be willing to have them released under the existing x3270 license (BSD-style).

Thanks Paul,

I'm a mainframe programmer, I can program in C but surely my coding standards and style are not good enough for x3270. It was only a patch, my understanding of x3270 is very limited, so I'll be happy if you do it yourself.

However I send you the files I changed. They belong to version 3.3.9-ga11, changed or added lines are between comments "@Salva" and "End @Salva".
