>> # The below is shorthand for 'name = off'
>> -name
>>
>> # This sets group.name to `on'
>> group.name = on
>> # So does this
>> group {
>> name = on
>> }
>> # and this
>> +group.name
>>

>>
>> tn5250 +underscores map=37 localhost:1975

>> Additionally, this uses all options set within a group:
>>
>> tn5250 group
>>
>> This is good for setting up different AS/400 sessions, for

>>
>> AS4001 {
>> host = as.400.1.com
>> map = 37
>> env.TERM = IBM-3812-1
>> }
>> AS4002 {
>> host = as.400.2.com
>> map = 284
>> +underscores
>> }
>>
>> Then:
>> tn5250 AS4002
>>
>> You can even do:
>>
>> tn5250 -underscores AS4002
>>
>> Here are the currently supported options:
>>
>> +/-underscores (old -u option)
>> trace=FILE (old -t option)
>> host=HOST (old host parameter. From the command-line
>> 'host=' is optional)
>> session=NAME (old -s option)
>> env.TERM=TERM (old -y option)
>> +version (old -V option)
>> +help (old -h option)
>>
>> everything in env.* gets sent to the AS400 as an environment
