Well, I just got my WK a couple of days ago, and in that time I
haven't been able to figure out how to get it to do ZModem autoreceive
either. It's not another copy of WK I'm communicating with, but rather
sz on my Sun that's sending the files. I have set the File option
autoreceive, and specified a default save folder. 

Another problem: when I initiate a Zmodem transfer from the other end
(and after waiting a while to see if the receive will cut in
automatically :-), I choose "File->ReceiveFileUsing->ZModem" (as the
manual would put it. The file transfer then starts up, apparently, but
I don't get any File Tansfer Status Window as promised. Once when I
did this the cursor (still in the terminal window) did change to the
rotating beach ball discussed in the manual, but usually nothing
visible happens at all. I can tell from the flashing lights on the
modem that something is happening, and eventually the file does show
up in the default REceived File Destination folder. But where was that
window?

One final (for now) problem. On my IIci, system 6.0.4, Apple 13" color
monitor, on-board video, when I choose Local->Window->Colors, the
whole thing just freezes up and there's no way to get the Mac but but
rebooting. This is not good....
