+uninhibited prevents you from having to hit "Error Reset" every time 
you get an error.  In other words, you see the error, but it doesn't put 
your 5250 terminal into "input inhibited" state.  Instead, it simply 
lets you continue typing.

He isn't typing them at the command line every time.

The question was about whether there's any advantage to putting the 
options into a .tn5250rc file vs. coding it directly in a "launcher" (an 
icon that launches a program in KDE or Gnome or a similar environment)

Given that, I don't see any reason to use a .tn5250rc file, unless you 
prefer it.

For those of us who like to be able to run tn5250 as a command, using a 
.tn5250rc saves us a lot of typing.  It's also useful when multiple 
users share the same computer, because you can set the settings in one 
place (/usr/local/etc/tn5250rc) instead of setting them separately for 
each user.

If it doesn't apply to your circumstance, feel free to not use it.  We 
certainly don't expect every user to use every feature of tn5250.
