Hi Mark
As James pointed out, try it with xt5250 instead. That will fire up an
xterm running tn5250 for you. You might like to create/update the
.tn5250rc file in your home directory to include your settings. That way
you can give a set of settings a name and just use 'xt5250 name' in your
desktop icon. My ~/.tn5250 is along these lines:
DEV1 {
host = 172.16.0.2
map = 285
env.TERM = IBM-3477-FC
env.DEVNAME = MROWELINUX
font_80 = 9x15
font_132 = 8x13
}
LIV1 {
host = 172.16.0.1
map = 285
env.TERM = IBM-3477-FC
env.DEVNAME = MROWELINUX
font_80 = 9x15
font_132 = 8x13
}
so I just need to type this to launch it
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xt5250 DEV1
If you're creating a link, there's no need to specify use a terminal, just
run it as is.
Regards, Martin
