 I think a better option for the kind of situation you're describing
 would be to install a TSR like SHOWGIF.  That way, whenever you d/l
 an image, the TSR picks up the data stream, shows you the image and
 then gets out.  Now personally with GIFLink whenever I know I'll be
 d/l'ing images I turn off the Auto Z-Modem Download and choose between
 GIFLink or Z-Modem manually right before the transfer.
