Rich,
   Commslot is still used to change the com port assignments, if it is not in 
the ini file you add them, example of my PORTS section of the 
writelog.ini file:

[Ports]
COM2:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM3:=9600,n,8,1
COM4:=9600,n,8,1,x
COM6:=9600,n,8,1
dvktype=2
dvkport=0
cwtype=2
cwport=1
dvkstoploop=1
dvkechomic=1
LPT1=0x3bc
LPT2=0x378
LPT3=0x278
CWPTTCONTROL=1
CWPTTDELAY=5
CommSlot4=6
CommSlot3=4
