[BRLTTY] bbraille edge keyboard input and cursor tracking with latest development version of brltty

[Cheryl Homiak <cahomiak@gmail.com>]

Okay I think we have found the problem; I probably should have thought of 
this. I always type /usr/local/bin/screen when I start screen. I have 
screen there because /usr/bin/screen belongs to the system and can be 
updated without me knowing it. So while I am using /usr/local/bin/screen, 
brltty is looking for /usr/bin/screen. What is the best way to take care 
of this?
Btw it is input and cursor routing that were showing problems; I think I 
inadvertently wrote cursor tracking before.
