I noticed this some time ago.  I was curious about how does it
know to display the information screen at startup for the
first several times that the program is run.  When I did
a byte-by-byte compare on PROCOMM.PRM, I discovered that
a count for the number of times that Procomm has been invoked
is stored in PROCOMM.PRM and is updated with each run of
Procomm.
