Ray,

There is. See the following lines:

(...)

unset OVwSessionLoc     # We don't use NetView map selections

(...)

#
# Start dialog box
xnmappmon -commandTitle "Select & Test Location"\
         -commandHeading "Please enter Name or IP Adress..."\
         -appendSelectList -appendSelectListToTitle\
         -unbufIO -cmd ${CMD}

(...)

HTH

Bernard
