    Don't think so. You can create a new parameter, Show / Driving, reroute
    the references, then delete.

    We'd certainly appreciate it if you'd be kind enough to tell us how. When I tried it, the parameter name is greyed out. Also, the help files, which say the following, seem to contradict you:
    Rules for Naming Parameters
    Consider the following rules for naming user parameters:

    a.. User parameter names must begin with a letter if they are to be used in relations.

    b.. You cannot use d#, kd#, rd#, tm#, tp#, or tpm# as user parameter names because they are reserved for use with dimensions.

    c.. User parameter names cannot contain nonalphanumeric characters such as !, @, #, and $.

    d.. You cannot change the name of a user parameter once it has been created.

    I wonder if it wouldn't be possible, along the lines of Jeff's suggestion, to a copy a parameter with a new name. Maybe with Pro/TOOLKIT?

    You are correct David. User-defined parameters CANNOT be renamed. And this is a longstanding problem with Pro/E. You can't even rename parameters in Layout(Pro/NOTEBOOK) mode.
