On many systems the monitor type will be remembered from one session to the next.
To test this, select a monitor type and exit the CLMODE program. Turn the
computer off for ten seconds. After rebooting the computer, run CLMODE and
verify whether or not the monitor that you selected is still enabled. If it is, it should
not ever need to be set again in normal use. If the monitor type was not kept then you
should select the option to have CLMODE save the monitor type in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You are given this choice after selecting the Exit button.
