No - it changes dynamically all the time once you have logged on - here 
is an example

http://217.204.115.107:5513/WSG/008113/QTMTWSG/QTWSG00160

The port is now 5513

Yes - that is true

In netstat option 3, for telnet the local port is given as telnet and 
for WSG it is given as 5513 for the example above.  Port 23 is not 
listed - but it is presumably the one called telnet.

If I could test for port number then my problem would be solved but I 
don't know how to do this.

I am not aware of a WSG exit program.  If there is one, then I could 
probably solve the problem as you suggest.  Have you found one?

The API would not be relevant but the flag would be
