Using Online 2.11 to upload (transmit from the Amiga to some other
machine) a file in zmodem format, the close gadget for the "sending"
window effectively implements a no-op.  Since all the other menu items
are ghosted, there is no way to abort the operation without rebooting
the Amiga.  This is very inconvenient for large files on noisy lines,
to say the least.

Does anyone know if Online's Platinum Edition has the same problem?

I suspect that a work-around would be to turn on the title bar and
border, and then switch to a shell from which it would be possible to
send a (hopefully handled) break.  But this cuts the terminal screen
down considerably from 25 x 80.
