Grant,

You should not be connecting from the simulated console, specially
in the 5.0 (old) version.

Use the GUI menus to connect.  There is a Target dialog for you
to configure how and to where you want to connect and also
menu options for connecting, disconnecting etc.

In the recent snapshots, after Keith's latest rewrites, it is
possible that this kind of command issued from the Console Window 
properly notify the rest of the GUI (I'm not sure though), but in
the version you are using it will just confuse it.

Regards,
Fernando
