Re: Can you help???

It may be an un-popular answer, but I have had tremendous success just 
installing the windows version of tn5250 under wine and running it that 
way, it is re-sizable and you can maximize it.  I usually use 
dejavu-sans-mono font and all is well in the world.

I put tn5250.exe and lib5250.dll and tn5250rc in
~/.wine/drive_c/tn5250

This is my rc file when I do that

map=37
font_80=DejaVu Sans Mono
font_132=DejaVu Sans Mono
+resize_fonts
+enhanced
+local_print_key
+pc_backspace
+unix_like_copy
colsep_style=none

SESSION1 {
env.DEVNAME=WHATEVER
env.TERM = IBM-3477-FC
host = IPADDRESS
}


Then I add
/usr/local/bin/l_tn5250  and point my shortcuts to it

in that file is:
#!/bin/bash
if ! [ -d ~/.wine/drive_c/tn5250 ]; then
mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/tn5250
fi

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/tn5250

if ! [ -f fontfix.reg ]; then
cat >> fontfix.reg <<'AA'
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
AA
wineboot -i 2> /dev/null
wine regedit fontfix.reg 2> /dev/null
fi

wine start /max tn5250.exe SESSION1 2> /dev/null
