Hi all

I recently replied to a comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc posting about clicking on a url on a 
5250 screen and having it launch the browser. Client Access handles this, and it makes 
a handy way to link graphics & scanned documents to straight text on the screen. Is 
this sort of thing possible to implement into tn5250 (or
gnome-5250)?

On a slightly related note - is it possible to trigger a command to run on a linux box 
from a tn5250 screen? I've used RUNRMTCMD in the past, but that requires Client 
Access. I was wondering about monitoring a folder for a particular file (FTP'd across 
or via NFS) and running a command on arrival. Is there a better, more secure way of 
doing this? The AS/400 FTP server has the SYSCMD command to issue a CL command, but 
I'm not aware of a Linux equivalent.

Regards, Martin
