Re: Use and setup of TN5250

["Dr. Syd Nicholson" <sydnic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

Tried the xt5250 program - this does not work - Nothing happened, No
tn5250 session
the displayed result of 'xt5250 -y IBM-3477-FC airor &' is [1] 1183
'xt5250 -y IBM-3477-FC airor' is [1]+ Done

I have two keyboard maps in /usr/share/tn5250.
uk5250.map and us5250.map
File XTerm in the same directory does not mention any of these. What
line syntax do I need to add references to either of these keyboard maps
in file XTerm

Regards
Syd Nicholson
