Hi,

The method for specifying parameters to the tn5250, xt5250, etc programs
changed quite a bit between 0.15.8 and 0.17.1.  

If all you need is a device name, a quick way to do it would be to
type:

tn5250 env.DEVNAME=xxxx as400name.whatever.com

Its possible now to create profiles with all your configuration info
in them.  For example, you might create a file called ~/.tn5250rc and
inside it, put:

test {
   host = as400.whatever.com
   env.DEVNAME = xxxx
   +underscores
   env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
   map=870
}

then just type:

tn5250 test

For more info, see the man page.
