The syntax #is: showmodem -sCustomScreenName. # #The custom screen name is the first few chars of the name just #to the right of the close box (not the file name) and is #case sensitive. I have been bitten by the case sensitivity #feature a bunch of times by asking it to attach to the #"vt100" screen when I should have typed "VT100". Your correct! I read the doxs (if thats what you call the xtra piece of paper) and that trick wasn't on there. Now if all terminal programs would only display their title.....

Have the supra people turned off this #feature? Im happy to report that when I tried the abovk trick (with VT100) ShowModem did not crash if it was left open when closing the terminal program. A note though, if you start ShowModem via the CLI and don't use the RUN command - it does not free the CLI after closing.
