Oddly enough, a program which I use daily on my Apple //e (and //c) ALSO has ALL (100%) of those features! The only thing you may not like about it is that, so far, it only runs under ol' DOS 3.3. It's Dick Atlee's Kermit-A2 (also p.d. but I seem to have buried the documentation on a desk that looks like the the 'Perfesser's in Shoe) - ask Dick (he's alledged to be working on a port to ProDOS). Dick's script language is VERY easy to learn and use, and it gets me though a multiplexer, and a minicomputer interface on the way to connecting with the host. Dick also provides for redefinition of keys, which I find very nice. The Kermit transfers allow for "wildcard" characters (transfer a whole disk full of files at once) - it's the code that Ted Medin adapted for Kermit-65.
