From your discussion, I can see there's a confusion or misunderstanding
in command line options. As far as I can see, some options to winvnc4 are
mutually exclusive. For example, when you use "-start", "PortNumber" is
ignored. In other words,
winvnc4 -start PortNumber=12345
only starts winvnc4 in service mode, and PortNumber is ignored.
If you need to specify port 12345, you have to use
winvnc4 PortNumber=12345
but then you're in user mode.
But I agree with you that there have to be a way to viewable
command-line overriding values. But well, the "Option" window has no place
for them, or a redesign is necessary...
