created a session name Testit
set the hostname to fandezi.efglobe.com
Testit session was created
when I double click on Testit icon i get this message
fandezi.efglobe.com/23
no such host is known

1) Start Vista itself
2) Click File -> New Session Ask
3) Single click the "testit.ses"
4) Check the the Host IP name or Alias: fandezh.efglobe.com - if not change it to this
5) Ditto for the port, it should be 23
6) Optionally select the terminal mode
7) Click "Connect" and you should be OK

Just a reminder. It is usually a good idea to logoff your session. If you just shutdown Vista, the TSO session will hang around for an hour or so before it actually ends.
