Patrick,
tn5250 is just a 5250 emulator, not a suite of AS/400 utilities as
Client Access is. File Transfer and directory mounting are not
related to 5250 emulation, and therefore should be a completely
separate project.
I agree that key-macros would be a very nice feature. In fact, they
are available right now, by using the XTerm's capabilities, but aren't
very intuitive or easy to use.
If you'd like to write a macro feature for tn5250, I'd sure be willing
to try it out!
As for mounting & file transfer, you can already do them using native
features of Linux. NFS can be used to mount a share on the AS/400,
as can SMB. (Though, NFS is a much better design). FTP can be used
to transfer files.
In fact, I believe file transfer and share mounting are being phased
out of Client Access.
