i have no idea what you are trying to describe... you'll have to be pretty
explicit in your description... ie: on bbs such and such, i hit the
'G'oodbye key and the fecal matter flys all over the room ;)

i don't know... i'm not a mac type of guy ;)

zmodem is zmodem is zmodem... same for managing zip archives... in both
cases, the actual commands may be different though... ie: on *nix systems
rz == receive zmodem, sz == send zmodem, zip == zip creation, unzip == zip
opener...

Bye bye!
