Right, 840 is just Jason's typo ;) 

>tn5250 doesn't support iso-8859-2 anyway.

I dont know the code, but it supports iso-8859-2 for me! I just defined default 
font for xterm ( -fn option) as an iso-8859-2 font and it works.

There is no iso-8859-2 to IBM870 table in the transmaps.h. The table I supplied 
is a hacked iso-8859-1 to IBM037 table, I just changed mappings for "Polish" 
characters. You can probably generate a better mapping using recode.
