TinyTERM versions through 4.50 are hard-coded to use COM1 through COM6. While it’s possible to have more serial ports on a Windows PC, those versions of TinyTERM won’t be able to use them.

TinyTERM versions 4.52 and higher have no hard-coded serial ports. Instead, they request a list of available ports from Windows. Note that ports currently in use by other applications are not considered available. So the “Available devices” list in TinyTERM may not reflect all installed serial ports.

Regardless of the version of TinyTERM, COM ports above COM9 are not recognized in CScript. Only COM1 through COM9 can be accessed through the te.ComPort property.

CR 182, fixed in TinyTERM 4.52
CR 832, te.ComPort
