Program function group

Multiple copies - Same as TOOLTYPE MULTIPLE
If checked, Several copies of AmiComSys may be started.
Bear in mind that they must connect to different servers for this to work.
It's possible to fake this if you connect to localhost and set the
environmental variable AMARQUEED_FAKECLIENT to different hostnames.
e.g. setenv AMARQUEED_FAKECLIENT /amiga.com/AmiComSys
You should never check this, unless you like to run AmiComSys connected to a local server
on your Amiga.
Default is unchecked.

Reconnect - Same as TOOLTYPE RECONNECT
Specify if you want AmiComSys to try to reconnect when no connection could be
established or the connection is lost, or just quit. Useful if you start
AmiComSys from an Online-script. Defaults to Yes, i.e. checked.
If you put AmiComSys in WBStartup drawer RECONNECT should be Yes, and if
you run AmiComSys from an Online-script RECONNECT could be set to No, but
should probably be set anyway, in the event the server is rebooted.
If yes, AmiComSys will try to reconnect one time every minute if connection is lost.

iconified state when you press the close button. If not it will quit AmiComSys

Get GMT offset from
The number of hours from Greenwich Mean Time is read from Locale-preferences
by default, but if it is not right you can set it with the popup-menu.

It shall be in hours from GMT. If your time zone for instance is one hour (+0100,MET)
east of GMT set it to GMT + 01 Hour. It shall be negative if your time zone is west of GMT, and
positive if you live east of GMT.

If you do not set this correctly the time stamp on your messages won't be right.
(The online time will be wrong too ...) (Not for you, but for others ...)
