I was always trying to use xydown from /t2.  Before trying to do any
downloading with sterm, I always set up a RAMdisk and then use esc-d to set the
directory to /r0.  I was calling xydown via esc-s.  I also gave the full
pathlist to xydown just to be sure it would be found right away.  As I now have
the newest sterm, I can now use xmodem directly. Actually, for most of my OS-9
downloads, I don't even use sterm.  If I can fix it so that I never have more
than 21 Grans on the disk (whether I put 1 file or 21 files on the disk), I
download under DECB using Ultimaterm then transfer the files to OS-9 via
DOSOR9.  Otherwise, I go ahead and use sterm.  When doing the downloads, I try
to fill the disk and then break up the files into 21-Gran groups for DOSOR9ing
later while I'm offline.
