    Howdy, Y'all:

     It is nice to know that the fellows that contribute the software
    and documentation are discussing the difficulties of applying
    the software. It seems that you are discussing the various
    values that are assigned to the token names. What I noticed
    was the different token names. Many applications and 'man'
    pages refer to the same thing, but use a different token 'name'.

     To make it easier for newbies, wouldn't it be great if all
    applications, documentation, and configuration files all
    used the same token name for the same thing?

    Token name Place where used
    ----- ----
    name man axports
    port man kissattach
    <port_name> AX25-HOWTO/x1474.html
    portname AX25-HOWTO/x495.html#AEN1143
    Port Name man ax25d
    ----- ----

     It seems to me that "<port_name>", "portname", and "Port Name"
    are close enough, but "port" (kissattach) and "name" ('axports')
    are too dissimilar to tell that they both refer to the same thing.
