As in that post, this is something I'd quite like as well. 
Unfortunately its fallen to the way side, partially because it looked 
like we were having serious issues with tn5250 on windows, even after 
the machines were formatted.  Queerly enough after doing everything 
under the sun it seems it was only a problem with those three machines. 
I can only assume it was a hardware problem (ram?) that only showed up 
when tn5250 was running along side other apps.

Anyways.  My goal was to have a program connect to a port to talk to 
tn5250, and be able to hand that session over to the user after 
navigating to the appropriate screen.  Hopefully in a month or two I'll 
have time to think about looking at it again :-)
