Re: Selecting host at startup

Hello Holger,

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.

That is not tricky at all.

You can always use tools like Kommander to wrap the call of
tn5250 into a nice dialog that allows you to select various
options. Kommander is for KDE, but you could also do something
with a little shell script and "dialog" or "whiptail".

Thanks for this, very useful. As the xt5250 does allow a host to be
entered if one is not on the command line, I have used this rather than
the tn5250 and it works fine. Adding this to the panel solves my problem.

Regards,
Andrew
