Hyperlinks in tn5250

[Martin Rowe <jamaro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I recently replied to a comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc posting about clicking on a url 
on a 5250 screen and having it launch the browser. Client Access handles this, 
and it makes a handy way to link graphics & scanned documents to straight text 
on the screen. Is this sort of thing possible to implement into tn5250 (or
gnome-5250)?

On a slightly related note - is it possible to trigger a command to run on a 
linux box from a tn5250 screen? I've used RUNRMTCMD in the past, but that 
requires Client Access. I was wondering about monitoring a folder for a 
particular file (FTP'd across or via NFS) and running a command on arrival. Is 
there a better, more secure way of doing this? The AS/400 FTP server has the 
SYSCMD command to issue a CL command, but I'm not aware of a Linux equivalent.

Regards, Martin
