thinknic progress (?)

Long story short, the first 2 CDs I burned for the NIC wouldn't run
tn5250.  The data from those attempts is not available for the time
being.

I switched to CDRW so I can test with the imperfections I'm used to :)
and found that xt5250 fails to run.  Apparently, xterm is not in the
path.  So I can either modify xt5250 to hardcode a path (or add a PATH
variable), or move xterm so it's in the existing path.

Since I didn't know what the problem was, I added myself a simple xterm
icon so I could run commands and see the result (that's how I know about
the path.)

If I modify my path in that xterm and then run the xt5250 script, I see
a window pop up and then disappear.  I get a message "EXEC FAILED!"

If I try to manually run the line where dialog runs (XT5250_HOST =
"$DIALOG....) I get and error:
Error opening terminal: xterm.
Is this another config problem?  (Error on my part running the command
perhaps.)

If I can get through this part, the only tricky thing left is host
configuration.  I'd really like to write the host to flash and let it
default to the same as400 info until reconfigured (or if the flash is
cleared, of course.)  Speaking of clearing flash, the only way I could
get my files out to flash was to clear flash by running
http://localhost/cgi-bin/clear.cgi and reconfiguring after the reboot.
