Another note, Mike. There is a minor bug (ughh!) in FLTIBM which needs to be fixed in the next upload, of any version. It can be demonstrated as follows: 1) Send a file, IBM to M100 in a normal way. 2) Send a second (can be same) file, IBM to M100 — but GOOF by forgetting to set up the M100 before the IBM starts sending. 3) Wait a while and then re-boot your frozen IBM! I have found a bandaid exit from this via a keyboard interrupt. But the right solution is to prevent it's occurence. My current diagnosis is that the second send is hung-up in the 'rsin:' loop, or 'sloop2:'. I've tried a few potential fixes, but no success Phil
