Re: determining hotkeys for a program, without a manual?

great questions.
by the way, the strings command, which I could run here at shellworld did 
not provide more information, aside from  showing some of the text 
messages printed  to the screen.
the company,
cellex trading company was founded in Detroit in 1994, and according  to 
ta Michigan business directory listing located via google, the company was 
dissolved in 2000.
Name of the program is openport.
There is no -h or /h  information that presents when I run those with 
openport..it really is a small simple program.
