Hi James:

Things are pretty basic, I haven't done any configuration changes to gnome
(other than screen resolution).

I've been starting xt5250 from an xterm window like this:

xt5250 as400

Where my .tn5250rc file contains:

as400 {
   host = "HOSTNAME"
   env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
   env.DEVNAME = SuperTerm
   map=37
   env.USER = "USERNAME"
   env.IBMSUBSPW = "PASSWORD"
font_80=-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-25-180-100-100-m-150-iso8859-4
font_132=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1
}

Thanks....
