Which AP am I connected to & how do I prevent duplicates?

Hi,
Is there a way to tell which AP I'm connected to by using Vistumbler? I know that "usually" it will be the strongest signal, but that's not always a certainty. I think I've found I can use the following netsh command to establish which one I'm connected to: netsh wlan show interfaces. The MAC address of the associated AP is shown on the BSSID line. If this is not currently shown in Vistumbler, could it be added in a later version? Netstumbler showed this by putting an astrix next to the AP which I found to be quite effective.
Also, I've noticed duplicates of the same AP often show up in the view. Is there a way to prevent these?
Thanks for a very useful tool!!!
Kind regards,
Curtis.
