So far, here are the options supported by tn5250 and various components
of it:
Option Component Meaning
------------------------------------------------------------------
env.DEVNAME stream The session/device name to connect as.
env.TERM stream The terminal type to report to the AS/400.
env.* stream Other telnet 'environment' strings. Can
be used to control telnet exit
programs.
host stream Host to connect to, including
connection
type and port. (e.g.
tn5250:my400:23).
map display Codepage map type.
trace all Name of debug trace file.
underscores curses fe Use underscores instead of underline.
font_80 gtk+ fe Font to use in 80-column mode.
font_132 gtk+ fe Font to use in 132-column mode.
bassackwards gtk+ fe Reverse enter and field exit keys.
and, just to run over how things work again:
You can set an option on the command line or in the config file by
saying:
option = value
If there are spaces in the value, you'll have to quote it for the
command
line. You can also specify like the following:
+option
-option
To turn an option such as underscores or bassackwards on or off.
You can group options like so in the ~/.tn5250rc file:
MYSESSION{
host = as400.nowhere.com
map = 37
env.DEVNAME = MYTERM
}
then, from the command line, you can say:
tn5250 MYSESSION
instead of
tn5250 as400.nowhere.com

I fixed the usage message in CVS, and I'm backing out the pending_aid
stuff.
If it causes any bugs, I'll fix 'em.
