Re: TCP/IP Connection software

Tn5250 does not have any macro support.  Like all open-source projects,
features don't get added until someone who needs them writes the code.

I don't ever use macros in 5250, (and apparently neither do the other
developers) so they don't yet exist.   Naturally, you could add this
support yourself, and contribute it back to the project.   (And that's how
you "pay" for open-source software!)
