You can change it by hitting ALT-S to enter the SETUP program.  From there,
select GENERAL OPTIONS, and look at option K: Menu line key.

Again, go to the setup menu.  Under PROTOCOL options, you'll notice a bunch of
things like EXTERN1.  You must replace this with the filename of the separate
program protocol.  Since most external protocols are one program, and Procomm
only allows you one filename, you should replace EXTERN1 with a batch file
name that sets the appropriate switches (IE, ZMODEM -R %1) and inacts the
program.


The last may prove to be difficult.  Read the manual coming with your external
protocol (a good one is DSZ, a zmodem replacement).  You will probably have to
browse the Procomm manual too.  I did it only once, but the copy of DSZ I had
was flawed, and I haven't gotten a replacement yet.

Good luck on finding another communications program.  I am quite satisfied
with Procomm.  Hope you find what you're looking for!
