Customize 3270 screen

Here I wrote about changing the font size to something larger. I mentioned that the obvious choice of simply choosing a larger font wasn’t available to me. Well today it is! Perhaps because I also installed XFonts-x3270-misc and Fonts-3270, more likely the former. I simply chose Options>Font>20-point Font, and it worked. Then I chose File>Save changed Options for it to be the default. At any rate the first post is a good work around.

I also like to start my 3270 terminal,to get the wider screen like so: x3270 -model 3279-5 127.0.0.1:3270
