$1)  How do I get ZMODEM or any other protocol installed in PCPLUS?

   Two solutions:

a) Wait for the next version, which supposedly will include ZMODEM
b) Find an external ZMODEM program (there are at least two around, and
   likely more) and install it as an external protocol.  That's what the
   external protocols are there for.

$2)  If I were to replace PCPLUS with another program, which should it
$be?  I would like to have much of the same LARGE variety of commands and
$large customization, including expanded macros, editor, screen recall,
$etc.  I have heard much about Telix (sp?) and is that worth the download?

   Yes, it is worth your time to at least try Telix out.  I don't have
too much experience with it, but it has a wide range of protocols (including
ZMODEM), a script language, a variable-size screen buffer, key remapping,
and a whole load of other stuff.  The latest version (3.12) came across
comp.binaries.ibm.pc a few days ago, and should also be available on many
BBSs and FTP sites.
