Thank you Scott!  I'm definitely making some progress, but I have a couple of
more questions to expect from a newbie..

Is the configuration file you're talking about "tn5250-config"?  If so, where
do I put the following?

> conn2 {

This is what I type in my terminal window, right?

I sort of randomly put in the part about conn1{.....} in the tn5250-config file
and it will just bring up a blank screen.  I still have the defaule xt5250
script file that looks for host, and then will prompt for one if not found.  Do
I need to edit this to use the "conn1"?

Thanks,
