- Note that telnet is an executable in /usr/bin. Note that tn and tn3270
- are symbolic links in /usr/ucb to the program /usr/bin/telnet. The
- program does behave differently when invoked by each of the three
- names. As noted telnet and tn use $HOME/.3270keys. Note that
- tn3270 does NOT. Make sure that you are not invoking the command via
- the tn3270 name. Actually, I once tried to understand all the information
- in the info page for telnet/tn/tn3270 and got myself totally confused.
- I tried some experiments but ran out of time. Perhaps there is a more
- detailed description with examples somewhere. Pointers would be
- appreciated.
