TPX File Settings

TinyTERM stores its configurations in files with the .tpx extension; e.g., default.tpx. The TPX file uses the Windows ini file format for its settings:

key=value

Not all the settings in the TPX file are available through the Session Properties due to space restrictions. Extra options are documented here. These options apply strictly to TinyTERM Plus for Windows, starting with the specified version number.

autowindowtitle A blank or non-existent autowindowtitle key causes TinyTERM to use its default window titles. Setting a value with no spaces will use that string to title TinyTERM windows as they are opened, with each window assigned a letter to identify it. For example,

    autowindowtitle=Inventory

will cause the first TinyTERM window to be named Inventory A, the second Inventory B, etc.

The lowest available letter will be used. For example, if Session B is closed, the next window opened will use Session B as its title.
