I finally wanted to exceed the 8 session limit in the Sessions Menu, and
so created two settings files. With one, it can be called term_data, and
reside in the Preferences folder. With two, they have to be named, and
called from the Preferences folder itself (or you have to get to the
Preferences folder, to open one). I tried putting them in the Versaterm
folder on the desktop, but there are all of those individual settings
files that must be dragged over too. So, as a compromise, I put a
Preferences alias in the Versaterm folder, open that, and pick the
settings doc I want (the first time - after that I can just use Open). Is
there any brighter way to do this, with two or more setting files?

Geeze, i thought versaterm opened up that choke-hold after 4.5.3,
which is what I have.
I use two different term_data files, actually, with two common
systems adn the other six being different systems. It's the
fastest kludge I thought of - and it works.
I haven't tried, although it might work, to rename any of the
various term_data files foo1 foo2 fooX and see if they would
work that way - I suspect it would.
right now, my names are term_data and .term_data . They
coexist peacefully and work great. I may try the foo1, foo2, fooX
trick some day myself, unless rcurl beats me to it .....

I don't recall 4.5.3 having *separate* settings files, one for each entry
in the settings menu for each term_data. Ver. 5.0 certainly does. You can
name the term_data files in several forms, such as term_BBS (and then,
accompanying that are the individual setting files term_BBS.1, etc.). I
also use two, but to not have all those .x files hanging around with them,
I invoke it all from Preferences. I guess the alternative is to have
settings folders in the Versaterm folder, to hold all the pieces for each.
But that requires opening as many folders as opening a Preferences alias.
