Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I've received a raft of replies
and it appears as though there are programs out there to do this. I
haven't tried any of them yet, but I plan on doing so as soon as I can
D/L them.
I've been pointed to three programs that sound very promising.
1)COMMO65.ZIP   My response came from Jim Bennett, a BBS sysop, who
                provided the following information:  1-520-290-2807
                Logon as "Commo Release" using the password "Guest."
                According to Mr. Bennett, This presents a list of
                {COMMO} related files and the caller is allowed to D/L
                up to 5 files at a time.
2)ICOM201A.ZIP
  ICOM201B.ZIP
  ICOM201C.ZIP  The author of this program is Wayne Duff. The sysop said
                to call 1-909-274-9634, Logon as "ICOM VISITOR" and use
                the password "ICOM." Then you will be able do D/L
                ICOM201*.ZIP. Per the sysop, this is a free D/L on the
                first call.
I was also told about a program called "Front Door," but this is all I
know about this file. When I get more info on this one, I'll pass it
along.
I've also heard from more than one person to bag the Qmodem Script
avenue as an answer in that it is lengthy and complicated to get
debugged. I'm not going to give up on scripting completely...yet. But if
there is an easier way to get my system automated, I'll find it.
Sure hope this helps you. I've been really pleased with all the help
I've received so far. With all the willing participants out there, it
won't be very long until I'm sleeping and my computer will be working
for me.
Take care.
Rick
