This may be misleading.  File PROCOMM.PRM (containing the parameters)
is updated at exit (Alt-X) time, as Bill says.  Changes you make during
your session are local to that session (that is, lost when you exit),
*unless* you have (a) made changes *and* (b) chosen "save changes
to disc" on the particular menu.  The way Bill put it, you might get
the impression you need to change back to your preferred defaults
before exiting; in fact, you do not, as long as you have not chosen
"save to disc" along the way.  I do this all the time, since one of
the hosts I communicate with has to have 8,N,1 set for Kermit transfers
(a function of that particular Kermit).
