This is likely a foolishly easy issue but my head has been firmly and repeatedly pounded against the wall so ...

What files do I have to copy over to have the same settings on a second computer? The map was easy ... the triggers, macros, etc not by a long shot.

what is the obvious answer?

find what .pkg file(s) you are using, turn off CMUD, then copy. I at least have not been able to send files in use to a zip file, so I guess CMUD has to be turned off...
EDIT: when you open CMUD, and go to "edit session" you can see what packages you are using

I just tried that ... I had tried it before but figured I might have missed something.

After copying with CMud closed when I open CMud and connect to the mud it pulls up 2 copies of each window I normally have open (on the other computer) then immediately disconnects and starts the reconnection procedure - cycling through that disconnecting after each connect.

It also does not show a command line although when i right click in any of the windows displayed it shows the display command line option as checked.

If the option is checked but it's not displayed, this means you have corrupted something. Start with the layout (the SHIFT trick) and see if this fixes the problem. If it does, all's well and you can continue playing.

If it does not, examine your package settings. Any window that regularly does not retain it's package-inclusion checklist, window options (status bar, command line), visibility options (global/local/external), or seems to regularly create duplicates is corrupted. Delete them and make new ones. You may also want to export the package, delete the original package file, create a new package of the same name, and import the just-exported XML to the new package. This will get rid of any lingering broken settings that may have been hidden by the Package Editor.

You are forgetting the layout files (.xly), which would also need to be copied over as well, and some configuration files (.cfg, .zfg). Maybe the .tbz as well. Usually when you make a new session, you end up creating a folder named after the mud or session name. You probably need to copy everything in that folder, plus any packages you use in the "packages" folder.
