For now, yes.
You can make some changes with "modify" or "alter", but not that 
one.  That will change.

"param" is coming, in the next development snapshot.  I have it 
mostly done, but it needs a little more work before I can 
release it.

Since gnucap is really interactive, param will let you change 
values and rerun.
