"Hotspots - Description
 
A hotspot is an area of the session window on which you can click the left
mouse button to execute a command or function. Five types of hotspots are
available. The Function Key and URL hotspots are active by default, but you
must activate the others before you can use them. 
 
You must use a mouse for hotspots - they really provide a way of performing
functions with a mouse rather than with keys.

Hotspot Usage 
Hotspots can be used to - 
... 
Connect to a Web site by clicking on a URL that appears on the screen. 
....
2. Execute URL (connect to web site) 
If a URL appears on your host-session screen, you can click it to start your
Web browser and connect to the address automatically. If you have designated
URLs to be 3-D hotspots, the URL is highlighted and you only need to click
once.

Hopefully that will point you in the right direction.

Subject: Click on an internet link from a 5250 screen
 
I was pretty sure I've seen this before, but darned if I can find it in
the archives or in the documentation.
 
Is there a way to put a clickable browser link on a 5250 screen. In other
words, say my 5250 display application shows "http://www.ibm.com";, is it
possible for the user to click on that and have the browser open up
automatically and go to that web site?
 
TIA, GA
