Re: TN5250 problem

Sweet! There's been times when I've hit the wrong key in the "official"
client on my Windows box and it will freeze up until I hit the CTL key. :-)
I assume that means I wouldn't have to do that?

What I ended up doing was putting the host name of the AS/400 system in the
command-line for the shortcut and putting that host name along with the IP
address in /etc/hosts.

Any reason to create a TN5250.RC file?

The HOWTO is a little out of date (but still quite useful) and it doesn't 
document the uninhibited option.  What "+uninhibited" does is to make it 
unnecessary to hit the reset key after various actions that put the 
terminal into a locked state.  For example, pressing a disallowed function 
key would normally lock the terminal requiring the user to press the reset 
key.  By enabling the uninhibited keyword the terminal will no longer 
require the reset key to be pressed.  The next key press will 
automatically unlock the terminal.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
