newbie needs help

I have installed Ubuntu 7.04, and I am trying to get tn5250j to work on 
this machine.  Actually, I can get it to work by opening a terminal 
window and typing the contents of the tn5250j file.  However, I cannot 
get tn5250j to open by clicking on the file.  It asks if I want to 
display, run in terminal, or run.  If I click display, it does exactly 
as you would expect, it displays the contents of the file.  If I select 
run in terminal, a terminal screen pops up, and disappears.  If I select 
run, nothing seems to happen.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.
