## Default values

Following default values are stored in the Tera Term setup file:

    <TCP port#>
    /B
    <baud rate>
    <serial port#>
    <file transfer directory>
    /H
    <kanji code (receive)>
    <kanji code (transmit)>
    <language>
    <macro file>
    <telnet flag>
    <icon name>
    <window title>
    <window pos (x)>
    <window pos (y)>

## Note

[1] Only if <telnet flag> is 1 (on) and <TCP port#> is 23, Tera Term starts spontaneously sending telnet commands to the host for the option negotiation when the TCP/IP connection is established. In any cases, Tera Term can respond to telnet commands sent by the host.

[2] Quote the multicast name when the name includes the space and `"' character. And then, a user should put the window title in quotations by using `"' character two times to include the character.

    /F="C:\Document and Settings\user\My Documents\teraterm\server1.INI"
    /W="Tera Term"
    /W="""Tera Term"""
