Howdy. Is there a way to put the server address, port and player name into the Client command line (in order to put it into the shortcut) so that I don't have to type it in every time I join the server? I'm playing LongTurn at the moment, which means I'll be connecting to it a few hundred times and I'm trying to avoid having to type "lt34.longturn.org 5034 Corbeau" every single time.
