Thanks.  I'll make that change to the ini file and some changes to the html
description so that only folk with two or more ports have to worry.

What I would like to see is a backplot popup, like the file editor, that
would run right from tkemc.  There are several problems with doing that
with steppers, servos, encoders and disabling machine motion while still
showing motion for plotting.  I took the easy way out with this version.
I'm not quite sure how to approach a more refined one.  A good path may
present itself as we get more experience here.
