And note about GTTRM in HAIKU XTerm emulator:
- MIDDLE and RIGHT buttons are reverted
- UP,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT keys are reported as CTRL+{UP,DOWN,RIGHT,LEFT}
I cannot cleanly fix it because it's incompatible with other XTerm
emulators and here conditional compilation:
#ifdef HB_OS_BEOS
resolves problem only partially because it will not help if you use
HAIKU XTERM to logon to Linux box and execute remotly Harbour-linux
application, etc.

Yes, it's a problem with errno macro values in source/rtl/fserr.c.
I'll fix it in a while. Thank you for your suggestion.
