May I suggest a change in xt5250.in something along the lines of: Index: xt5250.in =================================================================== RCS file: /tn5250/tn5250/xt5250.in,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -r1.5 xt5250.in 34c34 < if [ -z "$XT5250_HOST" ] ; then XT5250_HOST="$1" ; fi --- > if [ -z "$XT5250_HOST" ] && echo $1 | grep -v 'env\..*\='; then >XT5250_HOST="$1" ; fi ... so that the script doesn't mistake an env.FOO= statement for the hostname and remembers to prompt the user? -- Jack J.
