K00?
Actually I'd like to be able to set the title to anything I like
dynamically using "SET TITLE". The presence of "K-95" in the title
bar has virtually no semantic value. It's really a form of
advervising (but advertising to exisiting custommers - somewhat
pointless IMHO).
I'd also like to be able to set the icon dynamically. I have
different icons for kermit sessions to different hosts. Currently I
do this with PIF files - this presumably would cease to be an option
with a GUI app.
