[TN5250 <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 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...
