Error description

• When a HATS user is in a HATS project that uses Hebrew code page
  424 the Field + key behavior is inconsistent.
  The expected behavior for [field+] key is to clean the field
  from cursor position to the end of the field, then the cursor
  should advance to the beginning of the field.  The actual
   behavior using [field+] will intermittently display the
   following:
  1. Clear the field from cursor position -1 (one character before
   the cursor) to the field end. Then advance to the beginning of
   the next field.
  
   2. Clear the field from the cursor position to the beginning of
   the field, then advance to the beginning of the next field.
  
   3. Clear the entire field and the previous field, then advance
  to the beginning of the previous field.

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Due to the different mode of showing cursor position on Hats
  screen versus Host screen (before the character to be edited
  versus
  under the character to be edited) HostScreen class should
  adjust
  the cursor position being sent to Host.
  This action wasn't performed when cursor has been positioned
  at
  the end of field.
  

Problem conclusion

• Upated 'updateECLPS' method of HostScreen class
