Anyhow :)

It doesn't seam to be enough to check param.txt, maybe this file is only created
on startup.

When checking what happend 'on th fly' you can look into debug.txt for a command
like:

[0] - setvar personality personal\Rebel3.eng

Ev. enable logging in the adapter and see the communication with accept from
rebel:

357.954: C> setoption name Personality value Rebel3
357.954: S< setvar personality personal\Rebel3.eng
...
358.405: S> var:personality=personal\Rebel3.eng
358.405: S> info:misc: Style path : personal\Rebel3.eng
