Hello John,
At some point in the past I changed the xt5250 script itself. On line
117 and 118 the script is executing this command:
exec xterm -name "xt5250" -bg black -fg white -T "xt5250 - $XT5250_HOST" \
+sb -geometry 80x25 -fa lucidatypewriter -fs 14 -e "$0" -BOOT "$@"
I added the "-fa lucidatypewriter -fs 14" piece, setting the font to
Lucida Typewriter and the font size to 14. I can't remember why I
changed the script rather than putting the font setting in my .tn5250rc
file but it was probably because I didn't know the correct syntax to use
to set the font and it's size.
I have a wide screen monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. I start
an xt5250 session and then place my mouse cursor over the window, hold
down the left Control key and right click - then I select "Large" font
size. That seems to be about perfect for my current setup. I'm betting
if I changed my xt5250 script to use -fs 16 or -fs 18 I wouldn't have to
do that extra step with the Control key and mouse button...

Michael, et al:
Please note that I have moved beyond that problem... the Function keys are
a minor annoyance and I will be hooking up the printer to a print server.
However, I would really like to get XT5250 working, but I can't use that at
the moment because the tn5250rc file is not working. I posted my current file
this afternoon, but have yet to receive any feedback. I would appreciate
any help that can be given to help get xt5250 up and running.
