Re: Selecting host at startup

The first time I ran the tn5250, I was asked for a host to sign in to in

What error?



I would like to be able to create a menu item for xt5250 (or x5250)
but this is tricky if I have to add a host to the command line.


Are you wanting the menu item to allow you to connect to multiple
systems?  Otherwise, I don't see why it would be tricky to specify a
host name.

Also, look into using the .tn5250rc file for configuration.
