First off: Jason, thanks for that explanation of how keys are interpreted. I'm still a bit fuzzy, but it's not as much like black magic as it used to seem. Now, I finally got around to playing with my NIC again (that's from http://www.thinknic.com for those who don't know.) I couldn't get tn5250 to run in my first tests, so I added an xterm so I could run commands and see the errors produced. If I run tn5250 without parameters, it prints out the help info as expected. However, if I provide an IP address or hostname, I get an error. Sadly, I'm not near the NIC at this time, but the error was something like "unable to open xterm" I thought it meant it couldn't run xterm, which was odd since I was in xterm running it. Then I typed `TERM=5250` and ran tn5250 with my hostname parameter. Then I got and error telling me it couldn't open tn5250. So, that tells me it's the terminfo or termcap that it's having trouble with. Do I need to rebuild a database after adding the term entry? Or is it trying to open read/write which is not possible on a CD? I tried logging a trace file, but it only put two lines in it which didn't seem very helpful. If the term file really needs to be read/write (why?) I could try to relocate it to flash instead of CD. Where would I find what is trying to open the term entry? Thanks!
