actually, the '-' tells SIO so allow the port to be shared by more than one
program at a time... it can be a gotcha, too... like the time that i forgot
and clicked on the wrong telix icon and loaded the one configured the same
as the bbs and both programs were trying to use the same comport at the
same time... not a very pretty picture ;)
