Hi Carey Evans.

A co-worker gave me yesterday some tips and we wrote the following script wich actually works fine:

---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
SERVER=as400.mycompany.com
MAP=284
FONT=-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1
XTERM=/usr/bin/xterm
TN5250=/usr/bin/tn5250

$XTERM -fn $FONT -e "$TN5250 map=$MAP $SERVER"
---------------------------------------------------------------

The FONT variable is to use a bigger font in the Xterm.

Best regards to you and the list users,


Ernesto.
