This patch implements the same functionality as the one that you recently
submitted, except that it uses config options to do it, and if the options
aren't given, it falls back to tn5250's prior behavior.

Apply the patch to the current devel version from the src
directory.

Put an entry in your ~/.tn5250rc that looks something like:

W3 {
    env.DEVNAME = w3
    host = as400.whatever.com
    -underscores
    env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
    xterm_font80 = 9x15
    xterm_font132 = fixed
}

then try:  xt5250 W3


Doing it this way, people can set it up however they want it...   I'd even
recommend putting it in CVS. :)
