Does anyone know how to setup Procomm so that it auot connects when Procommm launches, exactly like when you launch Procomm and select Rapid Connect-Telnet and Script File with Login credentials. ie. How to keep the specific Rapid Connect-Telnet option as the default, rather than parent Telnet?

Auto Connect when Procomm Launchs
- Thread starter Ryckee
- Start date
There are a couple different ways to set this up, depending on what works best for your needs.
One solution would be to edit the startup.was script in the ASPECT directory under your Procomm install and add the following lines just above the endproc command:
dial TELNET "connection_name"
while $DIALING
yield
endwhile
You would need to compile the script afterwards. Each time Procomm starts, it will make a connection to the telnet entry in your Connection Directory. Be aware that the name is case-sensitive so it needs to match exactly.
Another option would be to create a command line that references the telnet entry. To do so, right click on the desktop (assuming Windows 7), select New | Shortcut, and browse to the PW5.exe file under your Procomm install. The path and filename will be automatically enclosed in double quotes. Go to the end, add a space after the closing double quote, then add CONNECT TELNET "connection_name". Enter a name on the shortcut and you should have a desktop shortcut that will launch Procomm and connect to the telnet entry.
