tn5250 is a console application.  What you want to use is xt5250 which is
basically tn5250 run through an xterm.  Try this:

xt5250 env.DEVNAME='LINUX01' 192.168.0.2

Then you should be able to make a shortcut in KDE that runs that command.
Email me or bug me on the midrangedotcom chat room if you have any
trouble.
