Going to step through a couple of Session Creation Issues, hope I am doing it right! Also my DataDir is %documents*\My Games\Cmud\ in case this has anything to do with it.

Open Cmud
At the session selection screen click "new session"

Session Title:Test
Mud:imperian.com //or any mud and port really
Port:23

Click on save and connect
type: #ALIAS test {#SAY This is a test}
close the session and go back to the session selection screen

Right click on "Test"->'edit session'
change to character tab
Name: MyChar
click on save changes to get back to the session selection screen

BUG #1 (minor): Session title doesn't change to MyChar on Test like it did in zMud

Right click on "Test"->"edit session"
change the session title to: MyChar on Test
click on save changes to get back to the session selection screen

BUG #2 (minor): Session title didnt change, going back into edit session the session title still says "Test"
Workaround: in the session selection screen change it like you would a windows file name by clicking on the words "test" until it changes to an edit box. Do this and change the session title to "MyChar on Test"

Now that those are worked out lets get to the major bugs. Be sure to keep the "MyChar on Test"

At the session selection screen click "new session"

Session Title:MyOtherChar on Test
Mud:imperian.com //or any mud and port really
Port:23

save and close session to get back to the session selection screen
click on "MyOtherChar on Test"->"edit session"
on the Character tab
Name: MyOtherChar
on the Files tab
Filename: *browse and select the Test.pkg in the Test folder that was created from the first Test session*

BUG #3
The filename reads "Test.p" and not "Test.pkg", The path is correct.

change Test.p to Test.pkg
save and connect to the session

BUG #4
It is now using the *untitled.pkg* file in the \packages\ folder not what we wanted

close the session
click on "MyOtherChar on Test"->"edit session"
On the files tab the filename has been changed to "untitled.pkg" and the path has changed to the \packages\ folder

Workaround to #4
delete the "MyOtherChar on Test" session
And recreate it exactly the way you made the first Test session.
At the session selection screen click "new session"

Session Title:Test
Mud:imperian.com //or any mud and port really
Port:23

Connect to it and type "test" "This is a test" should display across the screen we are using the correct package
close the session and rename it using the bug2 workaround to "MyOtherchar on Test"
