It would be really great if a macro had a way to link
to an existing TeraTERM window. Perhaps it could be
identified by the process number or window title.
Would this be possible?

An alternative might be to have a COM interface to
ttermpro. You could then command an instance of
ttermpro to open a new macro.

Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback.
Positively, We will examine this feature.

I have this exact same issue. I have created a macro to do an 'Over-The-Air' (OTA) update for a Teensy microcontroller. The macro works fine starting with no Tera Term connection, but fails if a Tera Term connection already exists. Since the Tera Term connection is how I get status updates from the Teensy, it is always open - so I have to close it before starting the update process.

I tried using the 'testlink' command, but this doesn't find an existing Tera Term window, so is useless for this purpose.
