McGill 3270 and Netscape 4

[rpage at okway.okstate.edu]

   Hi! You need a number of parameters in the command line that calls TCP3270.
   
         <path>win3270 -a -p<profile name> -h
   
   The   -a   eliminates the copyright screen
   
         -p   supplies default screen/font settings
   
         -h   allows the host address to be input
   
   For this to work with NetScape, make sure that the "-h" is the last 
   parameter.

Has anyone had any luck with Netscape 4 and using McGill as the tn3270 
program?  I can only get it to connect to the gateway address listed in 
the ini file for McGill, no matter what Netscape is trying to send.
   
I searched the web4lib archive and found Bill Drew's solution 
(http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/archive/9707/0467.html ) suggesting 
creating a telnet.bat file, but this doesn' t work with McGill, no 
matter how I move those %1s and %2s around.  It wants to connect to the 
address listed in the [Default] section of the net3270.ini file, and 
just presents a blank connection box if there is no address in that 
section.
   
This stubborn thing is driving me nuts!  I'm *almost* ready to give up 
and just let users connect to our catalog, no matter what tn3270:// link 
they click on!
   
Thanks.
