A little while ago I posted mfe.el, a set of forms entry routines for
GNU Emacs.  There's a little bug in it that can be fixed as follows

Formerly, in mfe-insert-char, I had

line #
-----------------------------
546:	  (if (= pos pmax)
547:	      (message
548:		"Can't insert characters - at end of field")
549:	    ; OK to insert - check the type 

Change this to:

546:	  (if (= (point) pmax)
547:	      (message
548:		"Can't insert characters - at end of field or field is full")
549:	    ; OK to insert - check the type 

This fixes the following bug: If you were in the middle of a field
that already had text in it filling out the field, and typed a
character, the newline at the end of this line would be deleted.  This
fix prevents insertion if a field is full.

Thanks go to Nathan Hess (nate@cpocd2.intel.com) for pointing this bug
out to me.
