1)How does one set up a host-based printer queue in TN5250 and 2)How the
heck do I get a command that requires an "F" key to work? i.e. F10 or F11? I
really don't want to put these users back on a Windows machine, but I will
have to if I don't figure out how to at least work around the function key
problem... I think I can work around the printer issue, but not sure about
the function key.

Thanks!

Just as a follow up, man tn5250 will show other keys that can be
used for functions keys.
Esc - is what I've used for F11
Esc = is what I've used for F12

That goes back to the original 5250 terminals that didn't actually
have function keys at all, but used a cmd key that is where ESC is
now, and then the keys 1 thru 0 and - and = for the 12 function
keys, and then ESC Shift for the F13 thru F24.
